"We must not paint Nigeria as a nation of terrorists."

"Now we are claiming that an attack on a United Nations building in Nigeria is an attack on United States' interests."

"If we are serious about engaging this threat, and if the United Nations and other entities are our partners, we have to invest in it."

"What are we doing on the diplomatic side to engage the country they operate in to do more so that these things don't occur?"
