Political Quotes

“I rise today to oppose this unhelpful resolution. It is a clear attempt to take a slap at President Trump and nothing more. President Trump's foreign policy successes have been several and should be celebrated not denigrated. For instance, recently his work when India and Pakistan started fighting, he got involved, and he had that shut down pretty quickly. This morning, I had the good fortune to attend, with Secretary Rubio, an event at the State Department where a peace agreement was signed between Rwanda and the Congo. Both Rwanda and the Congo were effusive in their compliments of President Trump for negotiating the peace that happened. So the President has been hard at work trying to be the President of peace that he really wants to be. First, I think that we ought to have a good statement from the administration as to why this resolution is not well-taken, and I am going to quote from the Executive Office of the President their statement on the policy. S.J. Res. 59 fails to account for the dynamic security threat posed by Iran and its proxies and our commitments to force protection in the region. On June 12, the International Atomic Agency Board of Governors found that Iran had failed to comply with its nuclear safeguards obligations. Iran immediately responded stating that it would establish a new uranium enrichment facility in a secure location and that other measures were being planned.”
