I think most of us look at that now. Do we not have a lot of momentum right now to continue leading...

President Trump took the long overdue steps of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

He signed the Taylor Force Act into law, holding the Palestinian Authority accountable for its cash payments to terrorists.

He pulled the U.S. out of the anti-Israel U.N. Human Rights Council.

The President now has the opportunity to take another major step to advance American interests.

The Trump administration has proven to be a staunchly pro-Israel administration.

Sisi gave a speech probably a couple of years ago now where he challenged a lot of the Islamist clerics and said: Look, we cannot--and he's a devote Muslim, but he was making the point that you can't have a faith that is at war with…

Number three, confront Turkey and Qatar. Their support to the Brotherhood is undermining our efforts in that crucial battle of ideas.

I offer four recommendations today: One, do not waste valuable Federal resources trying to designate the entire Brotherhood.

This notion of a moderate Islamist, I mean, Islamism is inherently not moderate, because, I mean, if you want Islamism to be the governing faith, that is a totalitarian system, not democratic.

But it was very weak--the response.

We must indict criminals like Raul Castro.

you just cannot give up, and if there are ways where we in the Congress can be helpful to try to push forward with good policy

It is my hope that our Department of Justice will indict Raul Castro and others responsible for this barbarous act.

We should enforce title IV and title III of the Libertad Act and send a warning to even American businesses that those that are trafficking in confiscated property face accountability if the President decides at any time, which he could…

It is sickening and it was and is a disgrace.

These brave men, flying unarmed, were shot down over international waters by Cuban MiGs, a heinous crime that defies comprehension.

The State Department should return Cuba to the list of terrorist sponsors in light of the fact that the Castro regime sustains Colombian terror groups despite a peace process in that country.

We should demand accountability, as the ranking member said, for acoustic attacks against two dozen U.S. diplomats in Havana, which did personal physical harm to these individuals representing us overseas.

There should be a top to bottom review of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Commerce licenses for commercial activities in Cuba to ensure that they are consistent with U.S. policy and public law.

We should restore funding for robust pro-democracy programs in Cuba.

We felt that the Clinton administration had a very weak response because we thought they are killing Americans on international waters.

We should restore restrictions on tourism travel to Cuba and focus instead on genuine, meaningful people-to-people contact that will advance real contact between the people of the United States and Cuba.

I am deeply concerned that the bureaucracy in the State Department is purposely disregarding and undermining President Trump's Cuba policies.

So I think a concerted effort where there is political will from the Trump administration--the President laid out very clearly.
