It will come probably as no surprise to many that the nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, the nominee is going to be a very difficult and a heavy lift for me to support.

To date, the administration's efforts on that front are fairly disappointing.

We need to restore smooth and predictable trading conditions with Mexico to ensure that the U.S. and Mexico remain an integrated market and the promise of USMCA is fulfilled.

The economic environment for U.S. businesses seeking access to the Mexican market deteriorated significantly, in my opinion, in the last year.

What we are asking is that they approve applications for products that would actually help us boost the economy and strengthen the environment.

What a thoughtful thing for Mike, from Wyoming, to share those words.

I will not consider the matter finished until Idaho's farmers are able to sell high-quality potatoes to every family in Mexico.

I support a number of USMCA innovations to help us meet the challenges of the 21st-century economy and drive economic prosperity in North America.

For over 2 decades, Senator Enzi passionately served the people of Wyoming as a thoughtful conservative leader.

I assume that if we can get those issues resolved, the actual terms of the USMCA with regard to dairy, for example, would result in significant benefits to American dairy producers.

Mexico and Canada are two of our most important trading partners, and we cannot take these relationships for granted.

I would promote policies for safe, orderly and humane migration as well as population policies that enhance maternal and child health.

We cannot take these relationships for granted.

The nominee has made some deeply troubling public statements related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.

Our allies deserve better, especially after invoking Article 5 following the 9/11 attacks and fighting alongside our troops for more than 20 years.

I think it is incredibly important that we continue to have allies who maintain those same values.

Our security partnerships are essential to protecting our vital national interests.

I appreciate your commitment to work on getting that open as quickly as we can.
