Taiwan is a democratic success story, a reliable partner, and a force for good in the world.

I was extremely disappointed by El Salvador's decision this week to sever its diplomatic recognition of Taiwan, a thriving democracy with a prosperous economy, in favor of China.

It reflects poorly on us and makes it difficult to do ultimately what you are saying.

It is embarrassing. You know, we spend a lot of time thinking about it on our end, but for a country like that, it is almost like the ultimate sign of disrespect.

It is not charity. It is in our interest, and it is actually more cost-effective if it is being done appropriately.

I am in favor of stronger border security. I am in favor of more personnel.

We need to make that work again. The incinerator is used to destroy the precursor chemicals that are used to create some of this.

I continue to be a supporter of the Alliance for Prosperity and always look for ways to tailor it to the new threats.

The abstention is a move forward versus the outright no votes.

Abstention is better than supporting Venezuela.

Congratulations on picking a pretty good spot.

It is not charity. It is in the national security and national interest of the United States to help nations build capacity

The best thing we can do is to help the Honduran Government create the capacity to confront and defeat them

The most effective thing we can do is to take away the reasons why people are leaving these countries in the first place.

Regimes such as these habitually and routinely use negotiations... as a way to buy time to further their grip on power.

I would hope that there could be some dialogue that leads to a positive outcome.

A Russian military base in Nicaragua of any capacity would be a national security threat to the United States.

That would certainly create a national security threat to the United States, would it not?

Creating the potential that that too would be a risk and a threat to the national security of the United States.

The situation in Venezuela is no longer simply about the loss of democracy and human rights violations. It is a significant destabilizing influence on the region, undermining our regional allies, particularly in Colombia.

The migratory flows out of Venezuela due to the man-made disaster caused by President Maduro's rule is a growing problem throughout the hemisphere.

We, in the Congress, fully expect all countries--especially our allies and partners--to comply with all U.S. sanctions against Iran.

I will support and encourage the development of local voices in support of LGBTI rights.

I will continue the administration's pressure on the DRC Government

We expect the DRC to hold inclusive and transparent elections in December and that President Kabila will not run for re-election
