It is the United States interest to promote economic freedom, which lifts hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and achieves shared prosperity.

I am concerned, however, about DFC's ability to balance its dual mandate to advance and protect economic freedom, particularly when this Administration at times seeks to use the DFC to promote its agenda.

I rise to speak on behalf of amendment No. 1055, and I am happy to be a cosponsor with Senators Wicker, Kennedy, Hawley, and Sinema. I am pleased we are able to come together on this. Everyone on this floor wants to see that not a penny is…

I could not agree with the whole-of-government approach more.

We do not allow foreign countries, especially China, to contribute to our people who are running for political office.

The good news is Europe now clearly recognizes its mistake and will never go back to that situation again.

I recently sent a letter with Chairman Menendez to Secretaries Yellen and Blinken outlining my surprise that this was not already a permanent position given Switzerland's outsized importance in the trade and financial sectors.
