the best thing we can do is to help the Honduran Government create the capacity to confront and defeat them

I would hope that there could be some dialogue that leads to a positive outcome.

That would certainly create a national security threat to the United States, would it not?

The situation in Venezuela is no longer simply about the loss of democracy and human rights violations. It is a significant destabilizing influence on the region, undermining our regional allies, particularly in Colombia.

We need to make that work again. The incinerator is used to destroy the precursor chemicals that are used to create some of this.

We, in the Congress, fully expect all countries--especially our allies and partners--to comply with all U.S. sanctions against Iran.

I will continue the administration's pressure on the DRC Government

I will support and encourage the development of local voices in support of LGBTI rights.

we expect the DRC to hold inclusive and transparent elections in December and that President Kabila will not run for re-election

I think it is important that we maintain those sanctions until we can come to the point where we believe that Kim Jong-un is serious about the negotiations.

the maximum pressure campaign plan that was led by the State Department and the enforcement of U.N. sanctions, pretty harsh sanctions by many countries, including China.

I do believe that it is important that we stay synchronized and aligned with our ally in South Korea...

the single most important thing that got him to the table and will keep him at the table is these sanctions, this pressure.

I do believe that there is the potential, sadly, for a much more violent open confrontation that--reminiscent of what we may have seen, some portions of the '80s.

It is my view, and I think the view of many, that that government has lost legitimacy and, frankly, its ability to continue to govern under the conditions.

I think it is a tremendous opportunity.

I still think that, contrary to Venezuela, there is still time for Ortega and for his wife, the Vice President, to figure out a way to sort of call a new--real election and kind of transition to some form of retirement.

Here in Congress, there is a law called the NICA Act, which, unfortunately, has run into some procedural hurdles, but which, I believe, when voted on, would pass overwhelmingly.
