Yes, sir. Absolutely, Senator.

We need a thoughtful, long-term strategy that prevents that from taking place.

If I am confirmed, I intend to make a broad effort across all elements of the diplomatic spectrum.

The best outcomes are always won at the diplomatic table.

Self-imposed requirements working with the international community... is dangerously wrong.

Torture is illegal. It is never permitted.

I absolutely think it is important to provide diplomats with the opportunity to be successful.

I will raise my concerns about the Radio Free Asia cases and the deteriorating situation in Xinjiang directly with the Chinese government.

Fair and reciprocal trade can solidify our relationships with our allies and create U.S. jobs.

Mike Pompeo is a good man. And I want to ask you, and I want to ask all our colleagues in the Senate, if there is ever one where you put politics aside, here it is.

It is the last resort. It must always be so.

I support the President's decision to create conditions so that the President and Kim Jong Un can sit together to begin to resolve this incredibly difficult challenge.

I would commit to defend the exceptionalism enshrined in our Constitution, which provides for our obligation to engage in diplomacy.

I would continue to endeavor to do that.

You have my full commitment that we will work on these issues together.

If confirmed, I will support the Administration's efforts to support the maternal health and family planning needs of women around the world.
