I think we are at a point on the planet where countries are deciding which club they are going to belong to.

We must also prepare for the ways our adversaries like Russia, Iran, and particularly China are trying to use AI.

The United States and our allies must lead the world in developing the transformational technologies and the standards that govern them.

if you think back probably some decades ago, some congressional committee was holding a hearing just like this saying, what are we going to do about this new thing called the internets, as George Bush called it.

The ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East are reminders of the threats and instability that define the era of strategic competition in which we live.

Obviously, we cannot have that ban, but it is stunning to me that we are sending money to Russia to buy nuclear fuel when we have got bans in all kinds of other places, but we have to because of the dependence we have there.

You have got to escalate. If you do not escalate, you are going to lose.

Corruption with U.S. dollars will not be tolerated and I am glad to see detailed information that gives me confidence that our money is being used appropriately.

This thing cannot go on forever. There is no question about it. Patience will wear thin and it is not a good situation.

The United States faces grave risks and the world is going to become more dangerous.

We should not let that happen. We should be the leaders on this and I hope we will be.

I have been asking the Administration for some time now to clearly articulate with details its goals in supporting Ukraine.

I rise in opposition to this nomination, and I rise in support of our strong support for Israel. I understand it is important to move as quickly as we can to have an ambassador in Jerusalem. We are at an important moment in history with…

I rise in opposition to my friend's motion to discharge this from our committee. Let me start where he left off. He is asking that we remove our troops from hostilities in Niger. Let me say this as clearly as I can: We have no troops…

very briefly to respond to my good friend from Kentucky, first of all, we are not conducting drone strikes out of Niger. We have not. We are not. We will not. As far as the four troops who were killed in 2017, the good Senator knows that…

How do those countries respond to you when you talk to them about the not very good situation with the coup for changing the governments as opposed to a nice clean election that the people could have a say in?

It seems to me we could be further along than where we are.

We should not mince words. Anyone engaged in coups should be personally sanctioned.

If you pass along all of our concerns, that may be helpful to you, and maybe you could get back to us with what you find out in that regard.

We need to lead with our values as we try to advance an agenda of good governance in the region.

We have the responsibility to at least do no harm through our approach.

When can we expect that the State Department is going to make an atrocities determination for Sudan?
