"If anything, we are going backwards here."

"I would not switch places with the foreign minister of any country, and nor do I yearn to retreat to some illusionary golden age of the past."

"I am just convinced more and more after these last years... is the minimum price of the leadership role that the United States of America plays on a global basis."

"In the past year, we reached a historic multilateral accord with Iran that you all played a critical role in."
