"Bringing the world's largest economies and largest security assistance partners together strengthens our hand as we try to get the Iraqi Government to undertake political reconciliation."

"That is not a way that I think is conducive to setting up a partnership of trust that becomes critically important for defeating ISIS."

"We tell them that they are not welcome in our country."

"How are we able to be a partner if we are reducing our capacity to help in regards to development assistance and diplomacy?"
