I am a big supporter of this one because I think it has not only enormous economic potential but has large geopolitical consequences if we get it right.

When the United States does not stand up at the United Nations to Russia, then that is a signal to them.

The Netherlands can potentially be an important ally in our effort to pass a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU.

It was really major consensus in the U.N. General Assembly on this.

I appreciate the work that you will do on this.
