The United States will work with any country on global issues and do so through UN institutions, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said during remarks at a UN Security Council Meeting on multilateralism on Friday. It will also “push back” when other countries undermine the international order.

Under Chinese leadership in May, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi convened an open debate on “upholding multilateralism and the UN-centered international system.”
