…It’s a transformational moment. The United States, I think, is now, as President Trump pointed out last night and I believe deeply, we are headed into a new era that I think will make the world a safer place. We have a President who yesterday – President Trump made clear in his inaugural speech that one of the primary goals of American foreign policies is the promotion of peace – of course peace through strength, peace and always without abandoning our values. But I think it’s extraordinary that it’s something that needs to be said and hasn’t been said enough in recent memory, and we look forward to being a key part of helping the President achieve his agenda that he has a clear mandate to keep.

…And I want to end by thanking Almighty God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is truly the singular purpose of our lives. It’s the most important priority. It’s the only thing that will matter when we take our last breath on this Earth. But this is an extraordinary opportunity that would not have been possible without God’s blessings. I’m honored and I’m privileged, cognizant of the responsibility, and I want to thank President Trump for his confidence. We will work hard every second of the day to help him achieve the agenda the American people have given him to achieve. Thank you. Thanks for being a part of this today. God bless all of you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. (Applause.)

Very interesting. Like Trump's inaugural address yesterday, Rubio, the new Secretary of State, didn't mention "Ukraine" once.

Yesterday, Trump didn't mention Ukraine, but spoke extensively about the Panama Canal.

The message from the new administration is pretty clear to me: Ukraine is not a vital interest for the United States.
