I think we need to only give up sanctions directly related to concrete action on those things upon which the sanctions were imposed.

So, do you think that there is a likelihood that China would, in fact, cooperate with us if North Korea is not cooperating, in terms of their willingness to impose additional sanctions on the North Korean regime?

Ten years. So, in addition to nuclear, there are also missile issues, chemical issues, human rights issues, cyberhacking issues.

The benefits of their cooperation

Congress's involvement will be crucial in any successful diplomatic effort with North Korea.

It is my hope that, during the summit, it will be made clear to the regime that the only goal of our negotiations is denuclearization.

There can be no sanctions relief for North Korea unless the regime makes significant progress toward completely, verifiably, and irreversibly dismantling all of its nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological weapons programs.

The whole world was looking forward, with great anticipation, to this summit, and it has collapsed over a misuse, in my opinion, of an analogy.

Well, where did it get us? We are not going to the table. We are walking away from the table.

Do you want him to accept this analogy? And do you feel that you should be continuing to use it as an analogy?

President Trump is the one who pulled out of the summit.

North Korea is a significant and pressing threat, and we need to get them to denuclearize.

Diplomacy is not simply sharing your position and demanding that the other party accept it.

To have someone like Gaddafi, who gave up their nuclear weapons, and then to go kill him, sent exactly the signal that you are laying out right now.

You seem to want to negotiate war. You seem to really miss this opportunity to defend the Gaddafi approach.

It will be the Gaddafi story as it is understood by, I think, everyone but this White House, that winds up with him dead.

Why would that be a good way of having a conversation with someone who we are asking to engage in denuclearization?

I think perhaps Donald Trump is the only person in America who would not be interpreting that to mean that, at the end of the story, the leader of that country dies.

The Libya model, as Kim Jong Un has been interpreting it, is that it is one where the leader of the country surrenders their nuclear capability, only to then be overthrown and killed.

If Federal infrastructure is causing harm to our communities, it is the Federal Government's obligation to make those communities whole.

I want to thank you and the Ranking Member for your leadership and commitment to passing another strong water resources bill in this Congress.

By the way, whether it is Burns or the Berkshires, there are rural parts in every State. We have them, as well, in Massachusetts. They have the same right of access to a free, unfettered internet as do the people who live in Cambridge, MA…

I thank the Senator. Mr. President, I wanted to follow up on that very important point that the Senator was making, which is that these big companies are all saying: You don't have to worry because we don't have any intention of…

I think we should do the same for future renourishment of these projects.

If Federal infrastructure is causing harm to our communities, it is the Federal Government's obligation to make those communities whole.
