The Wells Fargo fraudulent account scandal, and the incentive-based cross-selling strategy that fueled it are a stark reminder of how important it is for financial regulators to finalize executive compensation rules.

But that is an issue now.

Mr. Speaker, on Monday, President Donald Trump arrived in Singapore for the historic meeting with Kim Jong-un of North Korea, the first-ever meeting between a sitting President and the leader of North Korea. I applaud President Donald…

I want to thank the panel for taking the time to come today. It is valuable to hear your comments.

Our shipyards, fleet readiness centers, and air logistics complexes are critical in America's ability to project power.

I call to order the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness.

This has been a very helpful hearing, and I just appreciate everyone being here and the participation--record participation by members who are really dedicated to work with you on behalf of the American military.

This sustainment industrial base provides the backbone for the military to respond to a variety of contingencies.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina.

Mr. President, I object. I have so much more to offer, but I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Kentucky.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, Senator Lee is a very good friend, and he is very sincere. I will object, and I want to let the body know that I think the best way to handle this issue is, if American citizens are suspected…

He believes that Kim Jong-un is going to take a deal to give up his nuclear weapons if we can convince him his regime is secure and his people are more prosperous.

If Donald Trump can provide the security he is seeking and a prosperous North Korea by giving up his nuclear weapons, he will do it.

But the president can't rewrite history. I am willing to do almost anything within reason to bring this to a conclusion peacefully.

You need to take that route or we're going to go to the military option to take your nuclear capability off the table.

I think President Trump is willing to do that as a last resort and I hope we never get to that day.

President Trump feels the need to try everything he can so we can abort a war that nobody wants but would maybe necessary to stop a threat to the homeland.
