Staff member says United States seeks 'mutually beneficial' partnerships in the hemisphere
Summary
In a recorded remark, a staff member said the United States wants countries in the hemisphere that cooperate and engage with it to see positive, mutually beneficial results rather than one-sided relationships.
In a recorded remark, a staff member said the United States wants countries in the hemisphere that cooperate and engage with it to see practical, mutually beneficial results.
The comment framed the message the speaker said they have delivered during travel to the region: "The message that I've wanted to send in my travels, I've been to the hemisphere now twice, is very simple. And that is that The United States wants to ensure that when countries are cooperative and work with us and partner with us and constantly seek ways to engage us, that that leads to positive results and outcomes. You can call it rewarding, but what it really means is, it has to be a mutually beneficial relationship. And we want countries in the world, and we want countries in the region to identify being close to The United States as something that is beneficial and helpful, and that benefits us both," the staff member said.
The speaker described the statement as a concise theme delivered during visits to the hemisphere, emphasizing reciprocity in diplomatic relations rather than outlining specific policy changes or new programs. No specific initiatives, timelines or agency actions were announced in the remark.
