This behavior is intolerable. Allies do not attack U.S. citizens on American soil.

This bipartisan resolution calls on the Chechen leader to immediately cease the abduction and violence of men based on their real or perceived sexual orientation.

I want to applaud the leadership and help of all of our congressional subcommittee in bringing attention to all of these terrible situations throughout the world.

It is not possible to defeat ISIS while Assad remains in power.

I supported the missile strikes that took place earlier this month and I hope that they serve as a warning that the United States will no longer tolerate Assad's chemical weapons attacks against the innocent civilians.

This bill will send a strong message that we and our European allies stand together in promoting the shared values that bind us together.

We have to help President Macri and the Argentinian Government continue his work and legacy by bringing those responsible for his death and the terrorist attacks to justice.

Amendment to H.R. 672 offered by the Honorable Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Representative in Congress from the State of Florida.

I believe that Iran's core economic sectors are absolutely eligible for impact by nonnuclear-related sanctions under the JCPOA.

I believe we have a moral obligation to do just that.

Iran obviously remains a significant threat in the region, around the world, to our allies and to our interests.

Many of us knew that the Iranian regime would not moderate its behavior, but that it would amplify its illicit activity using the nuclear deal as leverage.

The notion that Iran would now modify its behavior and become a responsible member of the international community has proven to be completely and utterly false.

Iran continues to support terror around the world, most notably through its support of the terror group Hezbollah.

Sanctions against Russia have never been fully implemented, have never been fully enforced.

I have been calling for sanctions against those who poisoned Vladimir Kara-Murza.

I have consistently been arguing for additional sanctions on Russian officials for their human rights violations.

The undermining of U.S. interests by Vladimir's regime is nothing new.

We have seen those countries make significant progress in fighting corruption, but the attorneys general of these countries need our support.

The U.S. position must be that Josh Holt and all the political prisoners including Leopoldo Lopez and Antonio Ledezma must be released immediately and unconditionally.

I don't agree with the resolution and its language. It is counterproductive.

Clearly the U.N. is an institution that is in need of reform and now.

The U.N. institutions repeatedly cast Israel, the Middle East's only liberal democracy, as a pariah state.

Continuing to provide assistance to the Palestinian Authority has proven that it does nothing to further the prospects for peace.

We must reconsider our current assistance programs for the PA and our relationship with Abu Mazen.
