But I think the long-term solution really is to diversify their supplies and I know India has been talking to not just the United States, but in Venezuela, we’re working very closely to increase their production capacity.

We look forward to re-engaging again in another Quad meeting very soon, and I look forward to returning before the end of the year and setting up a presidential visit in the early parts of next year.

We’re hoping that’s what we’re working towards — sometime early next year to have the President come.

This agreement establishes a clear and structured process to restore Lebanon’s sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah, and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure.

The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.

If in fact we accepted that you can charge money to use an international waterway because it happens to be near your territorial space, well then this will spread throughout the world like a contagion.

The people of Israel deserve to live in peace and security. The people of northern Israel in particular, who have been targeted repeatedly by terrorist attacks launched from the territory of Lebanon, but not by the Lebanese people, not by…

Today is a good day in that we are happy to announce the framework agreement between the sovereign government of Lebanon and, of course, the government of Israel, with the mediation and support of the United States of America, that begins…

We're not going to agree to something that undermines the security of our Gulf allies and partners.

If Iran were to toll the strait there would be nothing stopping any other country near a waterway from following suit 'and then we’re going to have chaos.'

That will never be an acceptable condition of any deal.

You can call it a toll, you can call it a fee, whatever you want to call it — it’s a game of semantics.

The defense department would help search and rescue teams deploy to the affected region after Venezuela’s main gateway was badly damaged.

Had there been an agreement, there would have been an end to the war, and that’s been the fundamental problem.

We are prepared to step forward and play a constructive role, if there’s one for us to play, in bringing the parties together and bringing that war to an end.

The United States, while committed to this process, wants to make — will make sure that none of the agreements that are made, none of the things that are agreed to will in any way be counter to the interest of any of the nations…

What we’re interested in is not their press conferences. What we’re interested in is whether or not ships are moving.

Any time an incident happens, we're not taking anybody else's word for it.

I have a whole-of-government response. It'll be big; it'll be fast; and it'll be effective.

If, on the other hand, this rhetoric is backed up by actual ships being threatened and ships are not moving, that's a violation of the agreement, and we're going to have a problem with it.

If ships are moving as they should be moving, then that's what we're going to judge, and that's what we're going to react to.

There is no part in this deal that's undertaken that in any way undermines the security, the stability or the prosperity of any of our partners in the Gulf region.

If that stops, then we're going to have a problem.

There was a proposal in Alaska, but there was no agreement. If there had been an agreement, we would have had an end of the war.

Partners and allies don’t undermine one another.
