We have sanctioned 212 Russia-related individuals and entities and we have targeted key sectors of their economy.

The Iranian rial is now trading somewhere around 140,000 to the dollar. It's lost more than two-thirds of its value.

We need to go after Mahan and we are going after general service providers and third parties, imposing secondary sanctions.

If history teaches anything, it teaches that simpleminded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.

I expect strength in the face of Russian aggression.

Are we taking our duty to our constituents seriously? Are we living up to Article One of the Constitution? This is the people's House.

I thought he did that for the betterment of America and keeping the Cubans safe from crossing that strait, but what we found out, he did that to appease the Castro regime.

We are trying to build a democracy, and I am all for Radio Marti.

You look at the situation of the Cuban people today, they are no better off than they were 30 years ago.

The Cuban Government's making a ton of money off of this illegal property.

To open up... without having these things negotiated was a big, big mistake and a failure in foreign policy.

We should never have gone down this road without having this stuff worked out in the very beginning from the previous administration.

I would love to work on that with you, maybe letters to the U.N., other agencies, where we can put some meat behind that.

We are there to build strong alliances based on economies and trade.

It's America's presence, it's the rule of law, honoring contracts, and good governance and, certainly, we have our own problems. But it still is a standard that a lot of the world looks up to.

I think what Ranking Member Sherman brought up about jobs created, yes, it's important for U.S. jobs.

Our whole goal is to move countries from aid to trade as fast as we can.

This is something that has to be dealt with.

Empowered people run better governments in general and we are seeing the antithesis of that coming through.

You know, the importance of that whole region is incredible where we are going and if you look at outside of India, and China that the Southern Asia Pacific region, according to Admiral Harris, there will be more people living within that…

You want to look at a country like India, they are the largest democracy. Of course, we are the oldest, and you say they don't have the resources.

We believe in every country wants to determine their own self-reliance, and I think that's so true.

We need to pay attention to so that the people of the world will rise up together.

It really is. I mean, that is an investment in our future, and when I heard you say we are 4 years behind, that just shows more urgency that we need to do that.

That is really what we need to prepare for is 10 to 20 years from now, and we need to do it today to be prepared for that.
