"We're able to enhance the security measures that are in place so that countries are handling that material more responsibly."

"I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security."

"The international community has made it harder than ever for terrorists to acquire nuclear weapons."

"We believe that it's been necessary to prioritize this at the leader level because, frankly, you get a lot more done when you have the attention of national leaders."
