MS TRUDEAU: Happy Friday, everyone. The legendary Richard Boucher, a spokesperson here at the department, once had a four-minute press brief. I don't think I'll make that today, but we're going to be pretty brief. I do have a few things at the top.

Especially for U.S. citizens traveling to Brazil for these games, we'd make sure you please register at travel.state.gov and take a look at that information. There's excellent resources.
Finally, one point on Albania. The United States congratulates the people of Albania on the passage of justice reform. This is a historic step forward for Albanian democracy. The unanimous approval of the reform is a strong statement of national unity. Albania's leaders have placed the country on the right side of justice and history and moved it further down the Euro-Atlantic path. This success belongs to Albania's people and civil society who never gave up their demands for change. The United States is committed to helping Albania implement this reform and ensure its success.
And we'll go to Abbie (...)
