And not because there aren't talented people in the State Department, there are. And I've known that from the past interacting with them, but because it moved too slowly, because it took too long to action, because you gave a directive and it took so long for the State Department to do something because of internal processes or whatever.

that largely administrations would start to work around the State Department. And I want the State Department to be relevant again. I want it to be at the center of foreign policy making. And so that's by providing advice to the president who ultimately makes the decision about what we're gonna do. So it's a great job.

And I tell you, it's not just the position, but to be secretary of state for Donald Trump is a great job because you know you're not gonna be wasting a lot of time. Once a decision's made, you're gonna get to act.

Well, I think we spend a lot of time in American politics debating tactics, like what we're going to do, who we're going to sanction, what letter we're going to send or whatever. I think it really has to start with strategy. What is the strategic objective? What's the purpose, the mission?

And I think the mission of American foreign policy, and this may sound sort of obvious, but I think it's been lost. The interest of American foreign policy is to further the national interest of the United States of America. America first. Well, and that's the way the world has always worked.

The way the world has always worked is that the Chinese will do what's in the best interest of China, the Russians will do what's in the best interest of Russia, the Chileans are gonna do what's in the best interest of Chile, and the United States needs to do what's in the best interest of the United States. where our interests align, that's where you have partnerships and alliances.

Where our differences are not aligned, that is where the job of diplomacy is to prevent conflict while still furthering our national interests and understanding they're going to further theirs. And that's been lost. I think that was lost at the end of the Cold War because we were the only power in the world.

And so we assume this responsibility of sort of becoming the global government in many cases, trying to solve every problem. And there are terrible things happening in the world. There are. And then there are things that are terrible that impact our national interest directly. And we need to prioritize those again. So it's not normal. for the world to simply have a unipolar power.
