I think economic strength is inextricably linked to national strength.

I am concerned that some not well-designed sanctions can actually solidify Vladimir Putin's standing within Russia.

It is certainly what happened in 2009 with Secretary Janet Napolitano. I think that is exactly what should happen with General Kelly.

I cannot think of a more qualified individual at this point in time to serve as the fifth Secretary of Homeland Security.

Croatia has been a strong supporter of NATO, including providing troops for the NATO mission in Afghanistan.

There is a tremendous opportunity in Croatia to build a natural gas terminal off the Island of Krk in the Adriatic.

We can certainly address the human needs. It is all about building bridges in opinion and making the human connection.

Being Ambassador of the United States to these nations is a critical job. You need to represent American values to those countries, but it is also important that you recognize you have to represent their viewpoint back to the United States.

I will commit to working with the Chancellor and the new governing coalition to increase the pace at which Germany moves to meet its commitments to NATO.

I think that is a legitimate discussion point, in terms of where these activities are best carried out.

The world does not get better if America recedes into the shadows.

I think one of the more destructive aspects and really harms our ability to sell foreign aid to the public is when funds are abused.

America has been a phenomenal force for good, you know, how proud we all must be when there is devastating floods in Pakistan, it is American foodstuffs.

America is always best served when we lead and reach out to the rest of the world, not turn inward.

I think the concern about China is real as I have said publicly when I was a U.S. Senator.

You either spend it here or give me 10 times more for bullets.

There is no real reason to be building islands and militarizing and changing the law of the air and law of the sea.

The work done by USAID, funded and overseen by this Congress, is critical to advancing security and democracy around the world.

Mark's exemplary character and unique qualifications make him an inspired choice to lead USAID into the future.

We took action in dealing with the manipulation of China's currency. You were there. You voted on it. It passed 100 to nothing, if my memory serves me.
