From the article: “We are urging both sides to refrain from rhetoric or actions that could be provocative, that could contribute to tensions,” spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters. “Obviously, we would like to see both sides cool it and get back to a place where they can have a productive relationship.” “We want to see these two strong allies of the United States get along with each other and work together in support of regional peace and security,” she said.
