The Public Record
Shutting out refugees would not only increase human suffering; it would also weaken the country and undermine its foreign policy.
In slashing resettlement, the president is taking a recklessly narrow view of how best to put America first.
by welcoming refugees, the United States revitalizes its democracy and its economy, helps preserve or restore stability in volatile regions of the world, and builds respect.
development assistance is a modern national security tool and that cuts to USAID would increase risk to Americans and to our brave military service members.
A fully-integrated foreign policy requires a fully-resourced approach. Our troops, Foreign Service officers and development experts work side-by-side in unprecedented and ever-increasing cooperation as they execute our strategic programs.
The Haqqani Network acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
Every president has the right or responsibility to shape the security council as he sees fit a partisan politics has no place at the table and neither does Mr. Bannon.
I think it's really important that the United States always maintain the high moral ground. And I actually believe what Bill O'Reilly said, that Putin is a killer.
It's less about Mr. Bannon himself and more just about not politicizing a really critical institution in terms of the national security of the United States.
the greatest national security threat America faced was our deficit and accumulated debt.
