On behalf of Senator Rubio, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

Mr. President, I thank Senator Gardner and Chairman Corker for their leadership and tireless efforts within the Foreign Relations Committee in dealing with the national security challenges posed by North Korea. As a member of the Senate…

Mr. President, I start by thanking the leader for bringing to the floor today the bipartisan North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act. This legislation passed unanimously out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to address a…

I thank Senator Inhofe. I think most Americans, unlike my colleague, don't realize we still have 28,500 troops there. It is an area where easily something can get out of hand. So, again, I thank him for his support and for being here…
