Arnold Palacios: “I urge Congress to support initiatives that reinforce America's position as a strong and trusted partner in the Pacific.”

Imagine a world where China decides to cut off the US from their exports--this would leave us and our allies in the Pacific in limbo.

This would require a collective approach at examining our infrastructure, strategically investing in our island--the needs of the civilian population in Guam, while reaping the added benefit of equipping the best warfighters in the world.

It is in the interest of national and global security for the U.S. Government to protect and fortify the Pacific territories and allies in the Freely Associated States against the growing threat of Chinese Communist Party.

Utilizing the deepest port in the West Pacific right here on Guam, would not only strengthen the American supply chain but create American jobs boosting the American economy.
