U.S. Lieutenant Governors

New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president. We know him better than anyone.

We need to make sure that we are addressing that, and that is one thing that I have not heard about today is we are not talking about access.

I believe President Salva Kiir, First Vice President Riek Machar, and other South Sudanese political leaders have collectively failed to meet the conditions for genuine and peaceful elections in South Sudan.

I do not think they are doing themselves any favor by helping to feed the Russian war machine.

They want to participate in that.

In April you said China was the primary contributor to Russia's military complex, and the U.S. has strong evidence China is providing drone and missile technology, satellite imagery, machine tools, and other items that aid Moscow's defense…

Transitional government leaders should act with urgency to create conditions for a genuine and peaceful electoral process.

Despite that, this budget undermines effective coordination of U.S. global health security.

We cannot use U.S. taxpayer dollars to support an open ended, poorly conceived mission in a country plagued by extreme gang violence and political instability without some kind of assurances that things are going to be different this time.

This proposed budget does contain a poison pill... in the form of a, quote, 'Green Climate Fund' which proposes to transfer U.S. taxpayer money to China through the United Nations.

I also did not and will never agree to negotiations at the World Health Assembly that would trade away U.S. intellectual property rights.

In Africa, we have had coups in seven countries in the last 3 years.

It appears we are at the start of a new era in global affairs, one marked by growing instability, increasing competition, and fraying economic relationships.

I got to tell you on the ICC you got it exactly right. Your characterization of it being shameful equivalence that they have engaged in yesterday is actually stunning.

These are challenging times for the United States and the world, but our policies across the board are not helping us.

The Administration's policy is fatally flawed. Outreach and accommodation have failed, and the lack of any serious strategy has come home to roost.

We must stop blaming Israel and let Israel remove Hamas from Gaza. That is the only way to move forward.

By rejecting low carbon energy options like natural gas and pushing a green only approach the Administration is doing more to enable China than out compete it.

Congress has asked for a Ukraine strategy, which I suspect will never be delivered.

The budget's biggest focus is on climate change. That focus does not help Ukraine or Israel or help our allies compete against China.

Hope is not a strategy.

Can you give me just a--I do not want a blah, blah, blah, answer.

I respectfully disagree.

We cannot help but conclude there is an orchestrated effort to obscure the facts from Congress.
