Great to discuss how politics impacts diplomacy with my good friend and fellow former ambassador Trevor Traina at yesterday's event hosted by @world_affairs & @PacCouncil. In these challenging times, politics should indeed stop at the water’s edge!

Even as many remain transfixed by the election in Georgia, thousands of Americans have died today from covid, and thousands more will tomorrow, thousands died yesterday. I pause, close my eyes, and say a prayer for them and all those in pain, suffering, and mourning.
