I reject the use of violence and ward
to conquer nations or expand borders
through bloodshed, to stand against
global politics and fear and coercion,
to defend the sovereign rights of smaller
nations as equal to those of larger ones, Joe Biden, United States President, via Fox News.
That is the common ground upon which
we must stand. If you're still committed to
a strong foundation for the good of
every nation around the world then
United States wants to work with you, Joe Biden, United States President, via Fox News.
