Now the situation in the Arabian gulf over the last few days is troubling to the United States if the region and diminish people are directly affected. The United States wishes to reaffirm our commitment. Through the spirit of the summit three combined efforts to defeat the military financial and ideological support terrorists. We expect to see progress in the Arab world or greater political expression. An important pathway to attack Islamic extremism. And be present political activism from escalating into violence. This to allow marginalized voices opportunities for political expression. But this process required regional thing global consensus. And mutual understanding. Would call for calm from thoughtful dialogue. With clear expectations and accountability among the parts. And or lose strengthen relationships. We asked that there be no further escalation by the parties in the region we call cuts are to be responsive to the concerns of its neighbors. Cut far has a history of supporting groups that it spanned the spectrum of political expression. From activism to violence. The mayor of cut our has made progress in halting financial support from expelling terrorist elements from this country. But he must do more. And he must do more quickly. We call on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The United Arab Emirates. Bahrain. And Egypt to ease the blockade against cut power. There are humanitarian consequences to this blockade. We're seeing shortages of food. Memories are being forcibly separated. And children pulled out of school. We believe these are unintended consequences. Especially during this holy month of Ramadan. But they can be addressed immediately. The blockade is also apparent US and other international business activities in the region. It has created hardship on the people of cut are in the people whose livelihoods depend on commerce and cut power. Full blockade is hindering US military actions in the region and the campaign against vices. We support the American white's efforts to bring about it peaceful resolution to this agreement. And progress toward eliminating all forms of support for terrorism in the last few days I've spoken to many leaders in the region. And exhausted all of them. We know you're stronger together. It is clear to me based on these conversations that the elements of the solutions are available. The GCC must emerge united and stronger to show the world the GCC's resolve in its fight against violence and terrorism. And its commitment to countering the threat from extremists. Our expectation is that these countries will immediately take steps to do you escalate the situation. And put forth a good faith effort to resolve their grievances they have with each other.
