James B. Steinberg: “I think we have had a consistent record in saying that there are circumstances in which parties fail to respect…”

We attach enormous importance to the continuation of the tribunal, and we will do what we can to sustain that effort irrespective of what the decisions are of the Lebanese Government.

We are committed to do what is necessary to protect the American people and to honor our commitment to our treaty allies.

Our partners share our view that North Korea's nuclear and missile threat is a challenge to the international order.

America thrives best when all those around the world who share our dreams and our values have an opportunity to seek the blessings we have fought so hard to secure.
