I think adding cyber would be very complementary, and we would make sure to keep cybersecurity at the highest level of the utmost importance.

Would you commit to having that kind of back-and-forth dialogue and giving us your best advice on behalf of the administration on these questions?

I second that emotion. I think that is very good advice.

Their membership in NATO, their commitment of troops in Afghanistan, the Danish commitment recently to put more troops in Estonia to help us deal with issues on the Russian border, these are important relationships.

This is foundational. It is in our First Amendment for a reason.

I would like to be able to have a dialogue with both State, DOD, the White House about if we put proposals on the table, what is good, what is bad.

I have been worried about the overall budget cuts to the State Department as they might impact this most important function.

I still have not received a response with the administration's legal justification.

Sometimes we almost I think stumble into them a little bit by accident.

I believe that, if confirmed, I could help them make progress.

We need to strengthen the justice system component.

I think Namibia is doing many things very, very well.

The Paraguayan Government is a strong partner and a good partner in the efforts regionally and bilaterally to interdict drug traffic shipments.

I think the ability of the OAS to really stand by their charter, if they really believe in the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and hold Venezuela accountable, making sure that they are held accountable for violating the charter.

the USAID portfolio in these countries is an important and productive part of the American relationship with the countries.

I think it is very important for us to try to deliver humanitarian aid. Obviously, it is being blocked by the Venezuelans, but I think it is of foremost importance for people to have access to water and food and medicine.

I notice that Trump administration has proposed eliminating USAID development assistance to Paraguay.

We cannot operate just on the basis of classified briefings about what the plan is.
