"And you know here, there's a lot of anxiety about Donald Trump's reelection. So what is your take on the US election's consequences for Europe, for our transatlantic relations? I've been coming to Europe for years, as I did as an elected official now in this capacity.

The students here that I've met with in Europe, a student in London a few days ago said to me, she said, when someone yells at me, when they scream at me and accuse me of genocide, she said, it only makes me want to get a bigger Magen David. The person that stood up at a meeting in New York a few months ago who told me that before, announced in front of a big crowd that for years she's been involved in all of these different organizations in her community to help feed the hungry and to help kids to read and all these worthy causes."
