During my recent visit to Beirut, I stated that Hizballah is “an issue that must be resolved by the Lebanese themselves,” reaffirming a long-standing position of the United States — that Hizballah represents a challenge which only the Lebanese government can address. The United…
I met this evening with the Syrians and Israelis in Paris. Our goal was dialogue and de-escalation, and we accomplished precisely that. All parties reiterated their commitment to continuing these efforts.
Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned a clandestine North Korean network for its efforts to generate revenue for the DPRK through fraudulent IT worker schemes, which fund the regime’s weapons programs. Treasury will continue to hold accountable those who…

Investigation reveals no damage to ancient church in Taybeh & investigation of origin of fire continues. I have NOT attributed the cause of fire to any person or group as we don't know for sure. The press has. I have said that regardless, it was crime & deserves consequences.
