He is known for his outspoken views on immigration and law enforcement, often advocating for reforms that prioritize community safety and civil liberties.
We have told the Emiratis and the Saudis there has to be no action undertaken that would threaten the Port of Hudaydah.
A prolonged assault on Yemen's main port would severely jeopardize the delivery of humanitarian aid.
I believe you understand, as well as the other stakeholders, that there is no military solution.
I have a problem when that coalition is killing large number of civilians through air strikes that are nowhere near military targets.
There's far too much at stake here. It's unfortunate that some of our colleagues and some of the media are against this meeting and trying to undermine this meeting from happening.
I've introduced a resolution that's before this committee, H. Res. 861, that has bipartisan support and co-sponsorship that states this sense of Congress in support of the efforts that this administration is taking to achieve this goal of…
As you know, the war in Yemen is now the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
I encourage you and hope that you will continue your efforts and that the meeting between Kim and President Trump moves forward as planned.
But, in general, you are confident that the members of the various agencies are honoring their oath to the United States Constitution?
I would like to ask you about the conflict in Yemen, but before that, I just need to ask you a few questions about official statements the President of the United States made this morning on his Twitter account.
This attitude is dangerous and short sighted and can only lead to more war and suffering.
Cybersecurity must also be a top priority when it comes to our own Government. And that is why I am proud to support the Hack Your State Department Act offered by Representatives Yoho and Lieu.
I also voice my support for the Hack Your State Department Act, introduced by Representatives Lieu and Yoho.
I introduced the Defending Israel's QME Act to strengthen the process that ensures Israel's qualitative military edge.
I would also like to commend my friend Representative Mike McCaul and Ranking Member Engel in introducing the Energy Diplomacy Act to ensure the United States continues global leadership as an innovator in energy technology and practices.
I would like to thank Representatives Ros-Lehtinen and Deutch, the chairman and ranking member on the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, for their leadership on the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act.
I would also like to thank Ranking Member Engel for his amendment improving the ability of the United States to have a closer defense partnership with India.
Advancing America's energy security is also a vital aspect of U.S. foreign policy. Congressman McCaul's Energy Diplomacy Act of 2018 addresses this critical issue.
This legislation isn't about politics, and there have been some sad attempts to make this about politics.
I am also pleased to support the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act.
