Weitten Al Mariam’s Commentaries

“… We express America’s values from the State Department. We represent the American people. We represent America’s values, our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment of people the world over, and that message has never changed… I don’t believe anyone doubts the American people’s values or the commitment of the American Government or the government’s agencies to advancing those values and defending those values…. I’ve made my own comments as to our values as well in a speech I gave to the State Department this past week….

It’s antithetical to the American idea.” U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, August 18, 2017.
