“We would not want the president to have to refuse visits to Armenia for some reason. Armenia is our ally, a friendly country, our partner … But at the same time, we will have additional questions for the current leadership of Armenia … We still believe it is a wrong decision [Armenia joining the International Criminal Court].”

“That's not good because when bad folks have problems, they do bad things. China is a ticking time bomb. China was growing at 8 percent a year to maintain growth. Now, close to 2 percent a year.”
“In this critical moment, the United States stands with the people of Niger to honour our decades-long partnership rooted in shared democratic values and support for civilian-led governance. The Nigerien people have the right to choose their leaders. They have expressed their will through free and fair elections- and that must be respected.”
“When Putin, and his craven lust for land and power, unleashed his brutal war on Ukraine, he was betting NATO would break apart … But he thought wrong. NATO is stronger, more energised and yes, more united than ever in its history. Indeed, more vital to our shared future.”
“A nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies and partners is unacceptable, and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action.”
“While we are still determining the validity of those documents, I have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information. And our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies.”
“I've been hearing now for the past three months (that) China is going to provide significant weapons to Russia… They haven't yet. Doesn't mean they won't but they haven't yet. I don't take China lightly. I don't take Russia lightly.”
“An inflection point in history, where the hard work of enhancing deterrence and promoting stability is going to affect the prospect of peace for decades to come. I'm proud to be your shipmates.”
“One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kyiv. I can report: Kyiv stands strong, Kyiv stands proud, it stands tall and, most important, it stands free.”
“He [Vladimir Putin] was ready to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches on December 25 and on New Year's Day. I think he's trying to find some oxygen.”
“There is preliminary information that contests that. I don't want to say that until we completely investigate it but it is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia but we'll see.”
“I absolutely believe there need not be a new Cold War. I've met many times with Xi Jinping. And we were candid and clear with one another across the board. And I do not think there's any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan. And I made it clear that our policy in Taiwan has not changed at all. We're going to compete vigorously, but I'm not looking for conflict. I'm looking to manage this competition responsibly. And I want to make sure that every country abides by the international rules of the road.”
“Together we will tackle the biggest issues of our time, from climate, to health security, to defend against the significant threat to the rule-based order. We will build an Indo Pacific that's free and open, stable and prosperous, and resilient and secure.”
“We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis. For the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have a direct threat to the use of nuclear weapons, if in fact things continue down the path they'd been going. Putin is not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons, because his military is, you might say, is significantly underperforming.”
“I said: 'If you think that Americans and others will continue to invest in China based on your violating the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia, I think you're making a gigantic mistake. But that's your decision to make'. The call was not to threaten the Chinese president but to warn about the consequences of ignoring Western sanctions. Thus far, there's no indication they've put forward weapons or other things that Russia has wanted.”
“As a nation we must ask: When in God's name will we stand up to the gun lobby? When in God's name will we do what needs to be done? I'm sick and tired of it. We have to act.”
