I have said for years that we Republicans and Democrats--the executive and legislative branch--have to work together if we are going to confront what China is doing.

The Biden administration said over and over again that it supports security assistance to Taiwan. However, it did nothing to advocate for Taiwan during the appropriations process.

The United States has to step up and defend democratic values, not just the might of our military, but the power of our diplomatic persuasion.

China is certainly our high priority in this legislative session as we go forward.

Money has a way of doing that.

The United States and our democratic allies must show the authoritarian regimes of the world that the invasion and subjugation of free people is unacceptable in the modern world.

I hope to hear from you how the United States is planning to do more and faster to help defeat Russia in Ukraine and counter Russian aggression and malign influence around the world.

they need to do it and they really need to do it rapidly.

We must not allow the Wagner Group to similarly exploit Burkina Faso's resources, undermine its democracy, commit rampant human rights abuses, and spread disinformation and lies, all while helping fund and prosecute Russia's war against…

good governance, the rule of law, respect for human rights, education, and a vibrant civil society are key to breaking the cycle of violent extremism.

we are not going to go back to doing business with Russia as we have before.

It is essential that the Biden administration's Russia policy be characterized by leadership and initiative.

We must not allow the Wagner Group to similarly exploit Burkina Faso's resources, undermine its democracy, commit rampant human rights abuses, and spread disinformation and lies, all while helping fund and prosecute Russia's war against…

Unfortunately, the Biden administration has so far not made clear a concrete policy for how the United States will directly confront Russia as a strategic adversary.

The earlier that possible prosecutions are prosecuted and successfully done will send a chilling effect to those who think they can act with impunity.

they need to do it and they really need to do it rapidly.

We will work with you so that a free and democratic Ukraine that respects the will and rights of its people survives and flourishes after this war comes to an end.

We have been asking for this for 6 months. Had you started 6 months ago they would be all ready for the spring offensive.

the Administration, truly, needs to act more rapidly.

We really need to ratchet up our sanctions in that regard.
