The remark prompted Kerry to bristle and interrupt, “However once they said they have been.”
“We didn’t permit them to annex it. And we stood and we stood up in opposition to it.”
“Proper,” Jansing confirmed. “They stated that it was theirs.”
“Yeah, they stated it, however beneath worldwide legislation, that doesn’t make it theirs,” Kerry retorted.
