In fact, it is amazing how much European films – Italian, French, German and English – have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.

The thinning of the ozone layer is blamed on logging of tropical forests. The fact that the burning of fossil fuels and release of CFCs (chloro-fluoro-carbons) into the atmosphere occur largely in the rich countries are significantly ignored.

I have to go and say farewell to all the countries that I have been to, if I can. I am 73 now, it is taxing on me.

It is not acceptable that European Union countries are divided into those who give and those who take.
It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China?

The United Nations has become a place where many countries seek to achieve a lynching of the United States by resolution.
I am very worried about politicians who know that their countries are greatly benefiting financially and at the same time are saying that the European Union is not good for us. The message has to be coherent.

England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
Migrants don’t come to the United States because, as Ambassador Aponte argued in her press conference, of ‘lies’ told by smugglers that, once here, you can’t get deported. They come because their countries have been destroyed by U.S. policy.

Only two countries in this hemisphere are not democratic, but many countries in both Central and South America, and in the Caribbean, are really fragile democracies.
I’m trying to tell you that there’s a new wave on the continent. A new wave of openness and democratization in which, since 2000, more than two-thirds of African countries have had multi-party democratic elections. Not all of them have been perfect, or will be, but the trend is very clear.
