I can't go into the details of our conversations today except to say that our Egyptian counterparts were in communication with Hamas as early, as recently as a few hours ago.

We are working to do that. Obviously, in the countries that have been on the receiving end of coups, there are some limits that we have to abide by.

The People's Republic of China is pursuing military, economic, and geopolitical preeminence, challenging our vision for a free, open, secure, and prosperous international order.

The response we got was unfortunately not the yes that we were looking for. A yes that virtually the entire world has given.
