“Normally, the U.S. would have pressured Saudi Arabia not to pursue these capabilities, but the first indicators that the Saudis were pursuing these capabilities indigenously emerged during the Trump era. The Trump administration, to put it lightly, was not interested in bearing down on Riyadh over these issues. A robust Saudi missile program would introduce new challenges to constraining other missile programs in the region. To take just one example, Iran's missiles, which are a major concern to the U.S., would be more difficult to constrain in the future without parallel constraints on a growing Saudi program.”

“Those remarks showed that the Biden administration tried to play down its rhetoric on US-China relations compared to earlier this year, as it understood that consistently emphasizing confrontation or rivalry doesn't benefit long-term bilateral relations. In diplomacy, the current US government is also trying to distinguish itself from the former Trump administration, and we welcome this change.”

“The biggest difference [between Biden and Trump on China] is that the Trump administration was more unilateralist and even weakened some of our alliances and partnerships, but the Biden administration has come in determined to build coalitions with the countries that share our values and interests.”

“North Korea's steadily advancing missile program should not come as a surprise. Kim Jong-un made defense development a major line of effort in his report addressing the eighth Party Congress in January 2021, and specifically mentioned long-range cruise missiles. The cruise missile tests also follow a report by the United Nations that North Korea restarted the plutonium-producing reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex this summer. The Biden administration's approach seeking a middle path between the Trump administration's dangerous maximum pressure campaign of 2017 and the subsequent summit pageantry is unlikely to stop North Korea's programs. The longer the United States waits to get serious at the negotiating table, the more technical thresholds and limitations Kim Jong-un will break through, leaving the United States in an ultimately worse-off position.”

“This Trump-Biden withdrawal is a big mistake. Beijing and Moscow they are laughing. Tehran and Pyongyang have seen that the Administration is credulous when it comes to claims by devoted adversaries of the United States. It makes us look like we're suckers.”

“I wouldn't have let my 10-year-old son get away from this kind of pathetic blame-shifting. He should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else than to solving the problem of making sure that we protect and defend American security. It's worth noting this did not happen on our watch. The Taliban takeover of Kabul will likely be inevitable because the Biden administration refused to adopt a deterrence model - unlike what the Trump administration had done. They have to understand that there's an administration with a backbone and a seriousness to execute on the things that matter and protect and defend America. Were I still the secretary of State, with the commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America. Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson and the Taliban would have learned it as well.”

“Although the US airstrikes did not target Iraq, they put less strain on US-Iraq relations. It was a significant departure from the Trump administration which regularly targeted armed groups in Iraq.”

“The so-called 'one China policy' mentioned by the US is different from the one China principle held by China and broadly recognized among the international community. So the Biden administration just recognizes that there is only one China, but it didn't say it will respect the one China principle. But compared to what the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from the Trump administration said previously, this is a less provocative expression. The best the Biden administration can do is not to make further provocations. But when we communicate with Americans, we stressed that if the US wants to do something to stabilize the situation, words are not enough, we need to see more actions. According to some sources from the US, it seems like Biden is withholding the implementation of some arms sale deals with the Taiwan authority signed by the Trump administration. So we need to pay attention to what the US will do exactly, rather than merely listen to what it says.”

“Had President Trump been reelected, mending Serbia's relationship with the U.S. would have been possible without many strings attached regarding Serbia's record on democracy and human rights, its relationship to the Kremlin, or its treatment of transitional justice and war crimes committed by its government in the 1990s. This sort of carte blanche on many policy issues will not be available under Biden's team. Therefore, the success of Mr. Djuric's [Serbia Ambassador to the US Marko Djuric] mission will depend on Serbia's willingness to tackle some of these big topics and Mr. Djuric's ability to convincingly communicate Serbia's willingness to do so.”

“These executive actions [end restriction on immigration to the U.S. from some Muslim-majority countries, rejoin the Paris climate accord and mandate mask-wearing on federal property and during interstate travel] will deliver relief to the millions of Americans that are struggling in the face of these crises. President-elect Biden will take action — not just to reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration, but also to start moving our country forward.”

“For a period of time, we have seen a minority of anti-China politicians in the Trump administration continue to stage their final madness, unscrupulously using their remaining term to deliberately undermine China-US relations and serve their personal political interests. This kind of move goes against the trend of history and will surely be punished by history. China will take all necessary steps to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and security interests.”

“It is certainly one of the most high-level assassinations we have seen in the past year. I think it is intended to stoke tensions particularly in this interim period between the current administration and the Biden administration. The Trump administration have openly said that they will exert what they call 'maximum pressure' in its most maximum essence between now and when they have to leave office on January 20.”

“My big fear is that the return to nationalism and protectionism is likely to deepen divisions between countries, to erode norms and standards of behavior, and erode the element of cooperation that has been fundamental to U.S. security and prosperity. We know what great power rivalry looks like. We know where it ends up.”
