Obama: John Kerry ‘Now Making This Country Safer’

“Finally, I want to thank the American negotiating team. We had a team of experts working for several weeks straight on this, including our Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, and I want to particularly thank John Kerry, our secretary of state, who began his service to this country more than four decades ago when he put on our uniform and went off to war. He is now making this country safer through his commitment to strong principled American diplomacy. History shows that America must lead not just with our might but with our principles. It shows we are strong not when we are alone but when we bring the world together. Today’s announcement marks one more chapter in this pursuit of a safer and more helpful, more hopeful world. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”
