Donald Trump: Hard line against Russia: sanctions & diplomatic expulsions

Unlike the Obama administration, the Trump administration had actually taken a hard line against Russia, which the media hardly ever reported because it didn't fit their Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Since taking office, President Trump had imposed crippling sanctions on Russia; closed Russian diplomatic properties in the United States and expelled Russian spies pretending to be diplomats; approved the sale of lethal arms to Ukraine to defend against Russian aggression; persuaded NATO allies to increase their military spending to deter Russia; isolated and sanctioned Russia's worst proxies: Iran and Venezuela; made America the number one producer of oil and gas, lowering the cost of energy and hurting the Russian economy; and rebuilt our military so that neither Russia nor any other foreign adversary could challenge the United States.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: We're not looking to annihilate North Korea, but we could

In the spring of 2018, US and North Korean officials negotiated the potential summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim-Jong-Un. A summit between the American and North Korean leaders would be a first--and unthinkable because the two countries were on the verge of war.

We wanted the leadership of North Korea to know that America would not be bullied. They were threatening the strongest military on the face of the earth, and if they started a war with the United States, it would end in their deaths. General Jim Mattis delivered the statement, which included a line I wrote: "We are not looking for the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea. But we have many options to do so." Afterward General Mattis turned to me and said, "You're tough. The only job I'd want less in the administration than mine is yours."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: On Holocaust memorial: Why didn't somebody do something?

Many years ago, an 11-year-old girl and her family traveled to Israel. One of their last stops was to Yad Vashem, which commemorates the Nazi genocide against the Jewish people. The girl's parents weren't sure if she was ready for it, but they wanted her to understand the importance of standing up against evil. Yad Vashem in Hebrew means "a memorial and a name", and its goal is to memorialize the Holocaust and all the Jewish people who were killed. The girl didn't speak as she walked through the Yad Vashem. They got to the end and there was a guest book for visitors to sign. The hadn't said a word since entering Yad Vashem, but in the book the girl carefully wrote: "Why didn't somebody do something?" tears welled in her father's eyes, and in that moment he knew that she got it.

"Why didn't somebody do something?" The little girl understood. All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing. The reason I know that story is because I was that little girl.
