When they had Russian cyber attacks and they shut down the Colonial Pipeline, we told them you can only attack certain sectors but 16 are off-limits. When we left Afghanistan the way we did. Those were the places where the administration had the chance to establish deterrence. Putin saw this, i think they don’t see President Biden as credible.

I don't want to get into all of the conversations that have been held between us and other parties, suffice it to say, I am confident that the Russians understand the American position on this and understand the harm that is being inflicted on the Venezuelan people.

We've watched throughout the day, it's been a long time since anyone's seen Venezuelas Maduro.

He was headed for Havana.

He knows our expectations. by Mike Pompeo

He knows our expectations.

The President has made very clear that all options are on the table, that includes a military option.

It is not okay to put technology systems in with latent capability to take information from citizens of Chile or any other country and transfer it back to President Xi's government.

These attacks demonstrate the brutal nature of terrorists whose sole aim is to threaten peace security.

Any person or company doing business in Cuba should heed this announcement, cuba's behavior in the Western Hemisphere undermines the security and stability of countries throughout the region, which directly threatens United States national security interests.

Detente with the regime has failed.

Detente with the regime has failed. Cozying up to Cuban dictators will always be a black mark on this great nation's long record of defending human rights.

The United States will continue to utilize every economic and political means at our disposal to help the Venezuelan people, using sanctions, visa revocations and other means, we pledge to hold the regime and those propping it up accountable for their corruption and their repression of democracy.

You watch the political and diplomatic noose tighten around Maduro's neck, cubans must understand too that there will be cost associated with continued support of Nicolas Maduro.

I hope that you will care now, when you see the horror, when you see the tragedy, to change your ways and to leave your country.

With respect to our negotiations with North Korea on denuclearization, I don't have anything to add other than even after Hanoi we've continued to have conversations, i am confident what we did in Hanoi put us in a better place to continue to move forward.

If what you're doing doesn't work. by Mike Pompeo

If what you're doing doesn't work.

I think they understand who the malign actor is here and I think they'll see all the countries in the region, including the United States, as truly trying to help them, there's a deep recognition that this is a years and years long problem almost exclusively the result of Maduro handing over the keys to the country to Cuba, and that's not the guy who you want being part of the conversation about how to move democracy forward.
