President Petro said that he wished to reevaluate the counter narcotics policies of preceding administrations.

What good does sanctioning do if you do not do anything about it when a country like this takes the action it did?

We must stop trying to solve this problem by massive new spending and massive new taxes.

This administration must recommit to working with Republicans to develop real solutions that will stabilize the economy and create higher wages and opportunities for American workers.

So, do you agree then that it is a liquidity risk that we are dealing with in this issue?

It is important to learn more about what initiated the run on Silicon Valley Bank.

If I was another country I would say well, look, the U.S. asked them not to dock.

I interpret your answer to be that you are very willing to discuss the President's budget, tax increases, and increased spending, but you are not willing to discuss, with regard to the debt ceiling discussion, any actual fiscal restraint…

We must engage in negotiations to get over some of these disagreements, and this new debt ceiling resolution must include fiscal restraint.

I am very much opposed to it.

Next year, we will celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations. The Administration should seize this moment with a bold bilateral agenda.

The United States has an enduring interest in our prosperous, democratic, and stable Western Hemisphere.

We need to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.

It just seems to me that why bother doing this? In fact, if anything, I think it undermines us by doing something like this and then it not having any consequences.

The administration's short-sighted, partisan agenda extends to its unilateral approach to the OECD international tax agreement.

I was also disappointed President de Silva turned down Germany's request for ammunition Ukraine needs to defend its sovereign territory against the unprovoked Russian invasion and occupation.

I am disturbed by reports that the President instead just asked them to move the port visit until after their meeting.

I guess if I was sitting in Iran I would say the U.S. sanctioned us--so what. What do we care?
