The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win.

The RSF had committed genocide.

Feed the Future that USAID runs is one of the most important programs that we have in the government.

We can use these instruments to facilitate the private sector playing the role.

There is no question that countries around the world prefer to work with us.

It does hurt us and it is imperative that we get ambassadors confirmed and here is why.

It is vital that we provide a better choice, and we do that by doing a few things.

We have impressed upon Israel time and again the imperative of really bringing a determined focus to this.
