Madeleine Albright

I find hypernationalism a very dangerous aspect as far as democracy is concerned.

He has played a weak hand very well, and we have played a strong hand poorly.

It makes it very hard when America says you need to let in more people, and meanwhile, we are cutting our own numbers.

It has undermined our relationship with the other members of the P5+1 in terms of can we be trusted on agreements.

I have felt it is a mistake always to cutoff relations with a country or not have that conversation, because that is what diplomacy is about.

When we withdraw from agreements or are not there when treaties are being negotiated, we lose our position.

I am troubled by the fact that divisions in our societies... are being exacerbated by those who identify themselves with one group at the expense of another.

I believe that we do have a role to play as leaders, and I do think that we need to be very clear about what we believe in in terms of the rights of various groups and what our value system is.

I think NATO is an essential alliance, and our part in it is obviously key.

We are the most powerful country in the world, and we are destroying the capability to deal with problems by walking away from issues that we have agreed to.

I think we need to keep calling out what happened on Khashoggi and what our intelligence communities have been saying.

It is undercutting our own policy, and therefore, I think that it is very important to call it out.
