No deal is better than a bad deal.

You can only do what we do as far as creating tools and use those tools, but I hope the message gets out clear.

Not until recently have we seen this aggression from China, and it is disturbing to see how aggressively they are.

I want to point out that we have created a Pacific Islands Caucus, co-chaired by Ed Case from Hawaii, myself, Ted Yoho, and Don Young.

The Freely Associated States should not have to choose between inattention from their long-term friends and the debt traps and other devices which would erode their sovereignty, which will no doubt be offered by China.

I would sure like to look at that.

There should be a world standard that says from this point forward this is what we are going to do and all these countries that have, you know, chemical weapons, biological weapons, nuclear weapons agree this is where we are going to draw…

I think of China with the Philippines in the South China Sea and the EC losing their argument in The Hague about the claims to the Nine-Dash Line and all that and they lost that argument, yet they ignored it.

The fact is that trying to enforce part of the deal--the deal against Iran while pulling out of it...

As we were talking earlier about the assessment of the state of the world with who has nuclear weapons, what are the counts, what are the best estimates we have, who are the good players, who are the ones that we cannot trust.

No deal is better than a bad deal and that was a bad deal.

Nothing drives this point home more than the recent decision to designate the Iran Central Bank because it supports terrorism.

Yes, it is important militarily and strategically, but it is important for the people of those areas.

There is only one aggressor, and that aggressor, of course, as we have heard, is China.

Since post-World War II, the Indo-Pacific region has been considered open and free and passable by all.

You guys are the boots on the ground; you are the ones that are the face of America.

No deal is better than a bad deal and that was a bad deal.

I urge China to not make the same mistake they did 30 years ago in Tiananmen Square by bringing violence into the struggle.

I stand with Hong Kong and will continue to support personal freedoms and democracy in Hong Kong.

We have given Central America over $6 billion since 2007, and that money goes to good governance, rule of law, war on drugs, and it can go--you know, job development.

I hope as this winds down that it is understood that radical Islamic terrorists is not accepted anywhere in the world

It is understood that radical Islamic terrorists is not accepted anywhere in the world and especially if they mount attacks that come to America it will be met with severe vengeance

I feel that way, and I hope we stand strong on that because we have seen the effect of what China has done.

The person that brings a peace deal to this conflict will win the Nobel Peace Prize

We have to have sustainable agricultural practices, and it goes back to best managed practices or practices that we do.
