We have made real progress together to advance our national security priorities over the last 2 years.

It is important that we get back there.

If we are going to achieve our national security objective, it is critical to ensure our diplomatic corps is putting the right people with the right tools, and the right resources, and training in the right places to carry out their work.

But if we fail to invest in the State Department and the powerful diplomatic tools we have...

I very much believe we should be back in UNESCO. Again, not as a gift to UNESCO, but because things that are happening at UNESCO actually matter, and if we are not there, we are not shaping it.

If we are going to stay competitive we have to continue making smart investments that make our allies and our partnerships stronger.

I think this is a critical opportunity to crowd in private sector capital investment, and de-risk it.

I couldn't agree more that that is one of the core arguments for robustly resourcing the State Department and the USAID.

The 20th anniversary of PEPFAR is, indeed, worth celebrating.

We are constantly seeing new, alarming examples of how the climate crisis poses an immense threat to global security, and to our own national security.

I think this has been President Biden's best chapter, in a very long career public service.

I am eager to work with you, if I possibly can, to support finding a path forward as we anticipate the end of Title 42, in the middle of May.
