I have to say, yes, the extremely wrongheaded decision by the ICC prosecutor yesterday.
What has happened here at home, the investments that we have made in ourselves with the leadership of Congress, particularly when it comes to infrastructure, when it comes to the CHIPS and Science Act, when it comes to the Inflation…

I would argue that we have not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we're facing now across the region since at least 1973.
Secretary Blinken was told by the Qatari Prime Minister that something like this is never going to happen.
