The PRC's behavior in cyberspace is an extension of its counterproductive actions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, while the United States and our allies and partners are coordinating a collective, transparent response to save lives, the PRC continues to silence scientists, journalists, and citizens, and to spread disinformation, which has exacerbated the dangers of this health crisis.

We've been engaged in the fundamental proposition of trying to convince Chairman Kim, who is 35 years old, that the historic strategy which said that, absent nuclear weapons, North Korea will fall, that the government will fall, that it was their only way of achieving security for their country. And they trust that. They're confident that that will protect them.

It's been a steady stream of progress towards getting to where we want them to be, we just didn't get far enough.

You don't know which ones you are actually going to get until the two leaders actually have a chance to get together, there was a lot of preparatory work. We were prepared for the potentiality of this outcome as well. And tomorrow we will get right back at it.

It is a long ways, we have always known it was a long ways. by Mike Pompeo

It is a long ways, we have always known it was a long ways.

Look, there has to be a reason for the conversations. There has to be a theory of the case about how to move forward. I'm confident that there is one.

Y'all shouldn't get hung up on things like that. by Mike Pompeo

Y'all shouldn't get hung up on things like that.

We were hopeful even this morning. We all went back and tried to sharpen our pencils and see if we couldn't get a little further and we actually did, but still, look, it is a long ways, we have always known it was a long ways.

We are hopeful that over the next couple of weeks, we can really begin to make a dent in that problem.

America's not covering up for a murder. by Mike Pompeo

America's not covering up for a murder.

I expressed to both ministers that we encourage India and Pakistan to exercise restraint, and avoid escalation at any cost, i also encouraged both ministers to prioritize direct communication and avoid further military activity.

The United States calls out human rights violations each place that we find them, whether it's the Chinese holding Muslim Uighurs inside of their country in detention camps, the activities in North Korea, there is no nation that acts against violations of human rights in the way the American nation does, and President Trump has been at the forefront of doing that.

This administration is not going to do that, and I'm very hopeful that North Koreans will make a substantial step towards achieving the full denuclearization in a verifiable way in North Korea.

I don't want to get into the details of what's being proposed, what the offers and counteroffers may be. But a real step, a demonstrable, verifiable step is something that I know President Donald Trump is very focused on achieving.

This aid went in ... at the request of the legitimate president of Venezuela, he said, 'Please bring food to my people. Please bring medicine to the sick that are here.' That's what we've been working on these past few weeks.

I think good things will happen including the restoration of the wealth that was created by those oil fields.

It's just humanitarian aid. by Mike Pompeo

It's just humanitarian aid.

That's not what State Mike Pompeo said, what he said was that the efforts that had been made in Singapore, this commitment that Chairman Kim, may have substantially taken down the risk to the American people.

While Juan Guaido builds distribution networks for humanitarian assistance, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blocks its entry and sends armed criminal gangs to attack the innocent civilians accompanying the convoys.

That's not what he said... I know precisely what he said. by Mike Pompeo

That's not what he said... I know precisely what he said.

What he said was that the efforts that had been made in Singapore -- this commitment that Tony Kim made -- have substantially taken down the risk to the American people. It's the mission of the Secretary of State and the President of the United States to keep American people secure. We're aiming to achieve that.
