There are lots of things that we want to find paths forward on together, lots of places Americans are at risk.

I know many of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham think it's time to pack up and abandon the role we've been playing since the previous administration. I'm here to tell Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham why that's a bad call, the more support from you we get, the better chance we have of ending the conflict and stopping the suffering that none of us are happy about.

I was asked to be here and here I am. by Mike Pompeo

I was asked to be here and here I am.

We have affirmed our shared commitment to addressing the current challenge, the caravans will not be permitted to enter The Post.

Saudi Arabia'll take us probably a handful more weeks before we have enough evidence to actually put those sanctions in place, but I think we'll be able to get there.

The time is now for the cessation of hostilities, including missile and UAV strikes from Houthi-controlled areas into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Subsequently, Coalition air strikes must cease in all populated areas in Yemen, we've got to move toward a peace effort here, and you can't say we're going to do it sometime in the future. We need to be doing this in the next 30 days. We've admired this problem for long enough down there, and I believe that Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are ready, and in fact had the Houthis not walked out of the last effort that Martin Griffiths had going, we'd probably be on our way there right now.

This is certainly not the last step, we will continue to do our own efforts, our own fact finding, we want to make sure everyone understands that the United States believes that the killing of Jamal Khashoggi wasn't anything other than a horrific act.

This is an organized effort to come through and violate the sovereignty of Mexico City, we're prepared to do all that we can to support the decisions that Mexico City makes about how they're going to address this very serious and important issue to their country.

We have a long strategic relationship with Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they're an important partner. We need to be mindful of that as well.

My assessment from these meetings is that there is serious commitment to determine all the facts and ensure accountability, including accountability for Saudi Arabia's senior leaders or senior officials.

We call on the government of Saudi Arabia to support a thorough investigation of Mr. Khashoggi's disappearance and to be transparent about the results of that investigation.

It is imperative for members of United Nations to take United Nations to heart, enforcement of Security Council sanctions must continue vigorously and without fail until we realize the fully, final, verified denuclearization. The members of Security Council must set the example on that effort, and we must all hold each other accountable.

We're going to get an outcome which forces China to behave in a way that, if you want to be a power, a global power -- transparency, rule of law, you don't steal intellectual property.

I misspoke there, the President runs this government. His statements are in fact U.S. policy.

I think I responded to everything that you said, senator, no you didn’t.

We’ll let the world decide, i was asking if there was some rhyme or reason that this type of distrust or discord will be created. And I know you’re not going to answer the question. I’m trying to make a point as to why.

It’s not for me to disclose the contents of those conversations. by Mike Pompeo

It’s not for me to disclose the contents of those conversations.

I think the President’s been unambiguously clear. by Mike Pompeo

I think the President’s been unambiguously clear.

United Nations's really pretty straightforward, right, and United Nations's not my -- United Nations's not my description of what needs to take place. Chairman Kim made a promise. Chairman Kim told not only President President Trump, but( South Korean) President Moon that Chairman Kim was prepared to denuclearize. The scope and scale of that is agreed to. The North Koreans understand what The North Koreans means. There's no mistake about what the scope of denuclearization looks like.

The United States reminds every United Nations member state of The United States responsibility to stop illegal ship-to-ship transfers, and we urge United Nations to step up United Nations enforcement efforts as well.
