Taiwanese need Harpoons.

I think we are moving in the right direction; I am worried we are not moving in the right direction fast enough.

It sounds like a non-answer, General.

I think if anything, COVID and current events have shown us it's global supply chains matter and they're never more secure, I don't think, than in Central and South America and Canada in our own hemisphere.

Do you share Colombia's concerns that Russian military assistance to the Maduro regime will end up in the hands of the FARC and other combatants?

A coordinated Federal effort, in partnership with the private industry, I certainly believe, is needed to help close these gaps.

Over the last five years, my home state has been severely impacted by intense hurricane seasons.

All 50 states are impacted by windstorm hazards such as tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, and thunderstorms.

I am proud to see that Florida stepped up to keep Floridians safer from extreme weather.

We in Florida are very familiar with extreme weather events.

As we as a nation reflect on 13 more killed in action, 13 more Gold Star families, I think it is worth noting that they did their mission. They did their jobs. Their operation, their mission, was to secure Kabul International Airport, to…
