"America has no better partner than Europe."

"an all-out, all-in, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every source of American energy--a strategy that is cleaner and cheaper and full of new jobs."

"Closer economic integration in Europe was an essential underpinning to a stronger Europe and its ability to be a robust ally to the United States."

"I urge Congress to pass this agreement so that the payroll tax cut we put in place last year will not expire at the end of this month."
