Trade
- There's no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency or a global flag.
- It would be a problem for the entire world. A Trump tariff will have a wave of impacts that can take us into a global recession.
- The more jobs you destroy in Mexico, the more immigrants the American people will have. Think a little.
- I will be making a speech early in the new year setting out more about our approach and about the opportunity I think we have as a country to use this process to forge a truly global Britain that embraces and trades with countries across the world.
- I didn't take the job for adulation. We had tremendous responsibilities to try to address these terrible risks.
- We are the biggest buyer of cocoa in the world, and one of the biggest buyers of coffee in the world. Both of those commodities have gotten more expensive as a result of climate change.
- Sanctions alone could not stop Iran’s nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
- Russia's partners... should understand it's best not to mess with us. Thank God, I think no one is thinking of unleashing a large-scale conflict with Russia. I want to remind you that Russia is one of the leading nuclear powers.
- Congress needs to send a strong signal that direct communication with the leader of the free world is a privilege, particularly for a regime that has been as hostile as Iran has been towards America for more than three decades. President Rouhani needs to take these two simple steps to demonstrate good faith before any further discussions.
- But let's remember the reasons the Iranians say they're here now is that that economy is suffering desperately under the weight of sanctions. They want relief from the sanctions. My concern is they're going to want relief from the sanctions before they do anything to deserve it.
- At the moment, the U.S. is talking loudly and carrying a small stick. Economic sanctions and visa denials won’t impact Russia in serious ways, nor will they make Ukraine an economically viable and democratic country. Furthermore, Americans have no desire and no reason to go to war with Russia over Crimea.
- [Putin] is a bully. And bullies only understand when we punch them in the nose, but we need to do that economically.
