I have to say there is more work to do, we have not been able to achieve deterrence, effective deterrence of some of these efforts of the Russians.

Well, generically, when I hear the administration talk about taking America back, they are talking about back to what President Obama did for eight years where America was weak, we might have been liked -- a lot of people talk about how they are having this really fun time over at the G-7, everybody likes President Biden. What's important is not that they like America, but that they respect us, that we deliver good outcomes for the American people.

We shut down 10,000 jobs with the Keystone Pipeline here in the United States of America and then they permitted the Russian pipeline to continue to be built that will threaten the heart of Europe's energy infrastructure and of course you were referring to the cyber attack on the Colonial Pipeline, president Trump and our team were very clear about what we would do in response to cyber attacks. We changed. It's a pretty arcane idea, but we changed the NSPM, the rules that permitted us to respond to these attacks. I hope that the Biden administration will use the tools that we provided.

It should also remind us all what is too easy to turn away from : there is evil in the world and the barbarians leading North Korea are a part of North Korea, one of the highlights of my time as secretary of state was bringing home three Americans from the clutches of such a regime. But the joy I felt that night was tempered by the knowledge that we could not do the same for Otto Warmbier and Otto Warmbier family. The promising future of Otto Warmbier was crushed by North Korea’s inhumanity. This makes our duty to remember Otto Warmbier so real for me. It would be fitting to name this street in New York City in honor of Otto Warmbier as a reminder to the North Koreans, and to the world, that America will never suffer brutal dictators without responding, that we value life and that we will not rest until those responsible for heinous actions like theirs have been confronted.

We need to know what happened here. Chinese Communist Party knows what happened here. They know who patient zero was. They know precisely where this began.

It was outrageous to see scientists, even government, U.S. government scientists who were denying this when they surely must have seen the same information that I had seen, that includes certainly Dr. Fauci as well.

America is about to supply Iran with billions of dollars in sanctions relief to continue this, for America’s security, and for that of Israel, this is dangerous.

' In the end, Xi Jinping is afraid of liberty and sovereignty and rules-based order. It's Xi Jinping enemy, we will know who wins this by which ideas dominate the next 10, 20, 40 years. Are they a set of Western ideas or are they a set of understandings that flow from the authoritarian regime in China ?

I believe this genocide is ongoing, and that we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uighurs by the Chinese party-state.

Since at least March 2017, local authorities dramatically escalated their decades-long campaign of repression against Uyghur Muslims and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups, including ethnic Kazakhs and ethnic Kyrgyz.

We will continue to protect the American people and investigate credible allegations of forced labor, we will prevent goods made by forced labor from entering our country, and we demand the Chinese close their camps and stop their human rights violations.

Over the coming days, I’m going to lay out the mission set, the huge wins, personal stories, and a lot more. Just me, Mike.

With this action, we will once again hold Cuba’s government accountable and send a clear message: the Castro regime must end its support for international terrorism and subversion of U.S. justice.

It's not fake news for you to broadcast that this is the greatest nation the world has ever known. I'm not saying ignore our faults. Acknowledge them, but this isn't the' Vice of America,' focusing on everything that's wrong with our great nation. It certainly isn't the place to give authoritarian regimes in Beijing or Tehran a platform.

The United States government took these actions unilaterally, in an attempt to appease the Communist regime in Beijing, today I am announcing that I am lifting all of these self-imposed restrictions.

The United States government maintains relationships with unofficial partners around the world, and Taiwan is no exception. ... Today’s statement recognizes that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship need not, and should not, be shackled by self-imposed restrictions of our permanent bureaucracy.

Once again the Iranian regime is using its nuclear program to extort the international community and threaten regional security.

The United States will consider sanctions and other restrictions on any and all individuals and entities involved in executing this assault on the Hong Kong people.

You dont know if hes gone. How do you get work done? You kind of just hope for the best.

I can't say much other than it's been a consistent effort of The Russians to try and get into American servers, not only those of government agencies but of businesses.

You asked my wisdom for the next administration. They're plenty smart enough. They'll figure their way through this.
