I support the President's policy on Iran of prevention, not containment.

Multilateral sanctions against Iran are the most effective approach.

Continuing to maintain the international community's unified stance to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon--to include further sanctions if necessary--is more effective than implementing unilateral sanctions.

The Taiwan Relations Act provides that the United States 'will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability.'

The President has said that the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific is a whole-of-government effort to renew and deepen U.S. engagement throughout the Asia-Pacific.

As a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, we should continue to exert leadership across the full spectrum of peacekeeping activities.

The United States has historically played an important role in guiding and supporting U.N. peacekeeping missions, and I believe that this approach continues to make good sense.

America's nuclear deterrent for more than 60 years has played a central role in ensuring global security.

One particular way to support the Nation's defense infrastructure is to support international sales of American defense manufacturing.

I recognize that competition in all acquisition programs, including tactical aviation production, is key to affordability, to innovation, and to a strong industrial base.

The objective of our relations with Azerbaijan and Armenia should be to strengthen each nation's political independence and contributions to broader regional security and stability.

It is prudent to give consideration to how improved ties with one country might affect the broader region.

I recognize the many shared interests and current cooperation between the United States and Azerbaijan across the foreign policy, economics, energy, and cultural spheres.

I agree with the President that longstanding norms guiding state behavior, including the law of armed conflict, also apply in cyberspace.

The world needs to establish a new global consensus on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation.

Maintaining ready forces is of highest priority, especially in a world of ever changing challenges and threats.

I support the administration position that NATO's door remains open.

The United States has a shared interest with Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to partner on the development of each nation as a contributor of security and stability to the broader region.
