How to use willingness in a sentence?

1. Jacob Chansley of Arizona:

   I am very appreciative for the court's willingness to have me in my mental vulnerabilities examined, as well as I hope that your honor certainly didn't take any offense by anything( that) I told the psychiatrist. I certainly didn't mean anything personal. I just said I hope you were impartial.

2. Barack Obama:

   One of the strengths that makes America exceptional is our willingness to openly confront our past, face our imperfections, make changes and do better, rather than another reason to refight old arguments, I hope that today's report can help us leave these techniques where they belong—in the past.

3. John Bolton:

   Maximum pressure on both governments to give up their pursuit of deliverable nuclear weapons, but a willingness to talk to their leaders to see if there's a way out.

4. Andy McKean:

   With the 2020 president election looming on the horizon, I feel as a Republican that I need to be able to support the standard bearer of our party. Unfortunately, that is not something I am able to do, he sets, in my opinion, a poor example for the nation and particularly for our children by personally insulting -- often in a crude and juvenile fashion -- those who disagree with him, being a bully at a time when we we are attempting to discourage bullying, his frequent disregard for the truth and his willingness to ridicule or marginalize people for their appearance, ethnicity or disability.

5. President Barack Obama:

   We would not have achieved this agreement had it not been for Russia's willingness to stick with us and the other P5 + 1 members in insisting on a strong deal.
