If North Korea attains the ability to reach American soil with a nuclear device, our Government will have failed the American people.

U.S. sanctions against North Korea have been very, very weak, both in degree and kind.

We can try to wean away North Korea's business partners.

I agree.

And we are at a point where we can't afford to be weak.

How do you get the rest of the world to buy into that and say we need you at the table to do this?

North Korea's nuclear program has never been a bigger threat, and we need to respond with all the tools at our disposal.

For 20 years, we have responded to every North Korean provocation with either isolation or inducements to negotiate.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to voice my concern about how crucial it is that we repeal and replace the poorly named Affordable Care Act. We are working towards a better healthcare plan and doing it in a better fashion than the other side did…

Completely slashing the 150 account will not address our debt crisis; it will only hinder America's foreign trade, security, and potentially increase the likelihood of future troubles.

The small but cost-effective investments we make in the international affairs budget help advance U.S. national security interests at home and abroad.
