I supported Israel 100 percent as a senator for 28 years and I've supported it 100 percent as Secretary of State.
What I'm trying to do, and my policy, is to disassociate, to shy away from what's going on in Syria.
In the wars of the European Powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so.
I would have oriented myself in case of Donald Trump according to what former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder said to then - U.S. President George W. Bush when the Americans launched a war that was in violation of international law. Schröder showed that a German chancellor can act in a clear and self-confident manner toward a U.S. president.
Although North Korea's position differs (from Tokyo's), Japan's basic stance remains unchanged ? to seek sincere responses from the North Korean side to resolve the abduction and nuclear issues.
Let me tell you what the Cain Doctrine would be, as it relates to Israel if I were president. You mess with Israel, you are messing with the United States of America!
Well, there's been plenty of ultimatums, and one thing that we better be very clear is that we can't continue to have the kind of defiance of the United Nations, the defiance of the international community that we've had.
In the United Nations, when China entered, we voted on the same position, and since then we have maintained the same position, that position has not changed.
We are not a battlefield and we will not allow anyone to use our territory against any of our neighbour, but we will not allow our neighbours to use our territory this way either.
Donald Trump basically said: One state, two states, do whatever you like. I do not think this was a serious statement of American policy. This was him shrugging his shoulders and saying: Who cares about it. I think he doesn't even have the faintest idea of what he wants to do in the Middle East.
There is no difference between me and Netanyahu in reading the threat of Iran. There is no daylight between us on this issue at all.
I think there is a diplomatic stance that would fit me and I will stick to my own style, while also seeking assistance from the Foreign Ministry.
We have marched in lockstep with Israel. We've been side by side with them as they've confronted the Iranian nuclear threat and we'll continue to be. All options do remain on the table. That's something that we've said all along. That continues to be the case.
My diplomatic position will not consist of going and kneeling down in front of George Bush.
To put it simply, my support of Israel will be just as strong the day after Prime Minister Netanyahu's address as it is today.
The United States believes that every nation should respect international law, including in the South China Sea.
Canada has a stand on human rights in many places, just not when Donald Trump violates them in Latino neighbourhoods.
In terms of having views and being prepared to express them, yes, I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.
Tehran believes it's none of our business or anybody else's to decide the future of personalities in other countries.
Japan is opposed to any actions that escalate tensions in the South China Sea.
The Europeans must now honor their commitments. That is the position that France is defending.
I think we've always thought that it's important to have a positive relationships with local government rather than taking a confrontational kind of stance.
