Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I thank my colleague from New Jersey. I wish to emphasize a point he made. We need to remain vigilant. We need to remain ready to impose additional sanctions on those actions by Iran that are outside the JCPOA. We saw two launches of ballistic missiles by Iran late last year, designations recently having been made of those involved in supporting Iran's ballistic missile program. There is other bad behavior by Iran--violations of human rights that led to the long and unjust detention of Amir Hekmati and also potentially their increased support for terrorism in the region. I invite my colleague from New Hampshire to help us understand what barriers there might be to the administration vigorously enforcing the sanctions that remain on the books here in the United States if we as a body don't act to do our part in making sure the administration has the resources they need.”
