You view this as a misuse of the President's statutory authority under Section 232.

It invites harmful retaliatory tariffs from many of our allies.

It hurts American companies by making our products less competitive.

Trump's tariffs are a tax hike on American businesses and consumers.

This is a trade war with real consequences, but without a strategy.

They are puzzled, they are offended, and they are distanced from us by these tariffs.

Folks are confused, they are anxious, and they have a concern.

President Trump has launched a trade war without a strategy, and these Trump tariffs are imposing consumer taxes.

I hope our President will hold Putin and Russia accountable for their aggression against Ukraine, for their support for the murderous regime of Bashar Al Assad, for their interference in our election, and others.

If we don't resolve those issues in those three countries, we're going to have challenges along our southern border for years and years to come.

Unless we address the root causes of migration from Central America, any solutions focused solely on border protection and immigration enforcement will most likely be insufficient

I reject the current administration's approach to deeply cutting USAID funding and think that sustained, broad bipartisan investments in development are the best path forward.

I think the ranking member has raised real and legitimate concerns and questions.

I think the President's budget request, which proposes a nearly 40 percent cut to democracy and governance funding globally and nearly 60 percent to the democracy and governance funding in Africa is a profound misreading of where we should…

I hope you will consider more dedicated education funding in Niger.

I think we should be making an effort towards an authorizing structure for a fragile state partnership with some of our European allies.

I agree that it's essential we maintain maximum pressure on North Korea until and unless they take concrete steps to verifiably denuclearize.

He has already benefitted from an enormous propaganda victory.

I have expressed concerns, however, that there was not enough careful, thoughtful and smart diplomatic groundwork in place before the hastily announced summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

I think we can and should play a real role in their transition to restoring a real democracy there.

I think we are currently, as a country, ill-served by the absence of Ambassadors in dozens of posts around the world.

I could not agree with you more, as you know.

I think it might send an important signal in that area of effort.

I would hope we could work together to ensure that anybody who deploys is certain that they can safely return home.

I think that is a promising bipartisan initiative. And I want to make sure we work together to use that to strengthen international development and advance our foreign policy interests.
