“The ties between our two countries go very far back. We are continuing to see a strengthening of that partnership and recognizing the mutual interest of both the countries, centred around peace, prosperity, freedom and security. We have two leaders of two great countries who are very good friends and very focused on how we can strengthen the shared objectives and shared interests.”
“Trump remains very committed to combating and defeating the threat of Islamist terrorism. He redesignated the Houthis in Yemen as a terrorist organisation after Biden took them off the terrorist list.”
“Trump is also taking action where the previous administration failed. Houthis have been destroying maritime trade and passage for a very long time and no serious effort has been taken to stop that destruction.”
“Our country and another country should not be in a position to make a decision to re-route commerce going through that area just because of the Houthi threat. So, President Trump has taken a decisive action for our own safety, security, and prosperity.”
“President Trump is seeing this ongoing conflict with very clear eyes. He has made his position and priority very clear, which is to bring about an end to this war. He is focused on peace.”
“The negotiations have just begun and he’s looking forward to success, not for himself but for the cause of peace and to stop the taking of innocent lives. We have the best negotiators working with both Ukrainians and with Russia.”
“Under the previous administration, there was no effort at all towards peace or direct dialogue with Putin to bring an end to this war. So, in a very short period of time, Trump has made much more progress towards peace than any other previous effort. President Trump will have a very productive conversation with Putin at the appropriate time, rooted in his unwavering commitment to peace.”
“The long-time unfortunate persecution and killing and abuse of religious minorities (in Bangladesh) has been a major area of concern for the US government. The talks are just beginning between Trump’s incoming cabinet and the Bangladesh government, but this continues to remain a central focus area of concern.”
“Once again with the threat of Islamist terrorists and their global effort rooted in the same ideology and has the same objective, which is to rule and govern with an Islamist caliphate. This affects people of other religion and they choose to carry this out through violent means.
“Trump remains committed once again to identifying this ideology that drives Islamist terrorism, helping to defeat that ideology and their ability to exact that terror on people.”
