I will support Interim President Juan Guaido, the democratically elected National Assembly, and the people of Venezuela to determine their own future through free and fair elections.

I have long believed that state sponsor of terrorism designations should be used for states that are terrorists, based on fact, analysis, and intelligence.

I have been watching the historic protests in Cuba and the Cuban Government's troubling response very closely.

I have advocated for years for [the recognition of the Armenian genocide].

the U.S. does not sanction Cuba, or sanction the Cuban people, but on a regime that is the number one reason why Cuba is the only country in the world where Cubans cannot succeed.

The situation in Venezuela is a tragedy.

If confirmed, I will support the regular U.S. calls on Cuba to return fugitives from justice.

The United States strongly opposed the special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC) following the conflict in Gaza in May 2021.
