PJ Media: Kerry Accepts Diplomat of the Year Award by Detailing Four ‘Divides Holding Back America’
Secretary of State John Kerry accepted his Diplomat of the Year award last night at a Foreign Policy magazine dinner by reminding the audience that “if solutions were really obvious, then you wouldn’t need a diplomat to find them.”
Kerry focused on “divides that have been holding back America and the world.”
“First, here in the United States, we have to do everything that we can in order to narrow the divide between those who have never met a trade agreement they liked and those who automatically choose the other side,” he said, promoting the Trans-Pacific Partnership. “…The second divide that needs closing is between those who believe that a truly ambitious, meaningful, durable, global agreement on climate change is vital to our future, and those who don’t think we need it and can’t afford it.”

WNU Editor: I think John Kerry would have preferred the Nobel Prize rather than Foreign Policy's "Diplomat Of The Year Award".
