"We're going to abandon the failed policy of strategic patience. But we're going to redouble our efforts to bring diplomatic and economic pressure to bear on North Korea."

"Mike Pence, the vice president has put himself out here on this. He has made clear he wants to try and close this deal."

"I talked to General Flynn yesterday and the conversations that took place at that time were not in any way related to new U.S. sanctions against Russia."

"They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States decision to expel diplomats or impose a censure against Russia."
