pointed response 是什麼意思

Asked by the host, Chris Wallace, about a United Nations statement condemning the president’s words, Mr. Tillerson said that “I don’t believe anyone doubts the American people’s values” or the government’s commitment to them.

Mr. Wallace then inquired about Mr. Trump’s own values. After Mr. Tillerson’s pointed response, Mr. Wallace asked whether he was separating himself from the president on the issue.

Mr. Tillerson answered: “I have spoken. I have made my own comments as to our values as well in a speech I gave to the State Department this past week.”

@monica8 You're welcome! Both of those things. The first part is in quotation marks because it's a direct quote, and the second part is not in quotation marks because it's a paraphrased piece that was written in the article to summarize another thing that he said.
