 Past statements on development, diplomacy, and U.S. global leadership:

On U.S. Global Leadership: Delivering a keynote speech on humanitarian assistance in South Sudan, Phee said, “The United States have long been the most generous country in the world in terms of humanitarian assistance, and in particular have long been generous to the people of South Sudan and remain the largest donor. I think that’s important to emphasize because we need to ask difficult questions about the role of the United States in this conflict, the role of assistance in this conflict, and is there a way we can adjust the way we provide humanitarian assistance that means we’re more effective in helping the civilians?” (source)
