I have not at any time stated that I believe we should go to war with Cuba.

I agree that in most situations in the world, with a handful of exceptions, there are opportunities to not make the negotiation, the diplomacy, a zero-sum game.

The answer to your question is, yes.

If I am confirmed, I intend to make a broad effort across all elements of the diplomatic spectrum.

America's democracy promotion around the world is conducted in a way that America should be incredibly proud of.

We need a thoughtful, long-term strategy that prevents that from taking place.

Diplomats without any strength, diplomats without any capacity, are just sitting there talking.

We have the primary mission that we have been engaged in to defeat ISIS.

Make no mistake: America is uniquely blessed, and with those blessings comes a duty to lead.

Self-imposed requirements working with the international community... is dangerously wrong.

I have never advocated for regime change.

that is also his opinion, and that should the agreement then be negated, he would work for a better agreement.
