60 countries came to Washington and were part of an effort where we’re shedding light on far-left terror and violence.
Marco Rubio
The Public Record
U.S. Secretary of State in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Florida.
The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization. They’ve made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you’re not a member of that court, they can come after you. What that literally means in…
The United States can certainly injure the court, but there’s no way that we could dismantle the court.
The Trump administration’s goal is to “dismantle the ICC—brick by brick, if necessary,”
Communism, according to Rubio, would not be laudable if only we could make it work, because making it work would mean an end of great individual accomplishment and of the striving that brings romance and meaning to our lives.
The world it envisions is a world without courage, a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes or glory or great causes to strive toward, without—a world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above the…
Communism does not sound good in theory. The world it envisions for all of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception, drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul.
Washington would use every tool at its disposal to dismantle the ICC 'brick by brick.'
But I would say on the visit in general, look, China and the United States are the two largest economies in the world.
Washington will never accept that 'international waterways are somehow under the control of other countries.'
It [the issue] always comes up in every one of our meetings because we obviously disagree with those actions.
Cannot expect to maintain business as usual with other nations when it is thwarting the basic tenets of our democratic hemisphere.
We want to see stability and we want to see peace and we want to see prosperity.
I’m not going to opine on something that’s still working through a legal process.
Today, I am announcing a new global visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The good news is the United States is now one of the world’s largest energy suppliers.
The U.S. policy towards Taiwan was reiterated during our visit to Beijing and remains unchanged.
I’m concerned because the rhetoric from Beijing is very aggressive, and it seems to be particularly focused on Japan.
I think Japan has the Naval capabilities and others, and I think – not just Japan, but there’s a lot of countries that rely on the straits and should be outraged and troubled by the fact that Iran is sinking and – not sinking, but…
The only regret we were going to have is if Iran ever had a nuclear weapon, and that’s what they were aiming to have.
