The answer here is caring about Africa. The answer here is not just thinking of our strategic interests as a country as oil and Europe and the Middle East. It should be Africa, Asia and Latin America doing something about poverty, about AIDS, about refugees, about those that have within left behind. That's how we restore American leadership in this country.
Richardson emphasizes the importance of addressing issues in Africa and other poor nations to restore American leadership.

The U.S. military relationship with South Korea is in our interest, too, and sometimes, I will say, the president says, well, they should pay more.
But, yet, China and Russia are cheating and so what we wanted to do is go after the bigger banks.
Russia needs to get tougher and they are not doing it. I think these U.N. sanctions were the strongest that we have ever had.
