U.S. policy must account for this rise of coercive economic practices and maintain our competitiveness in order to achieve what is best for our national interests.

stuff is going where it is supposed to go and it is going quickly

we have got really, really strong oversight

I completely agree with the ranking member of the Finance Committee. I will carefully review and consider future U.S. income tax treaties to both ensure we resolve this important issue and to make sure Treasury follows through on its…

today, the Senate is considering the Chile tax convention. This treaty has been approved by substantial bipartisan majorities in the Foreign Relations Committee in four separate Congresses and has been pending since 2012. It is past time…

I thank the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee for his work on getting bipartisan agreement on this declaration. This declaration is necessary, given the reservation amending article 23. The reservation regarding article 23…

There is absolutely no reason it should not.

It is shame, however, that some governments participate in state-sponsored patterns of trafficking and further victimize the most vulnerable.

Thank you. You guys are doing Heaven's work. There is no question about it. We appreciate what you do.

If you have a million Uyghurs in a concentration camp, there is a high probability that you are going to end up with trafficked products and supplies.

The United States is the leading global voice on combating human trafficking and has been so for decades.

My time is limited here, but I do want to touch on what I think is probably the most obvious matter we hear about in the news and that is the Uyghurs in China.

Look, for years, we have focused on putting out fires. And we were very, very successful at it, and by being successful at it, we have caused the problem that we have got.

For those of you who live on the East Coast, welcome to our air in the West.

My bill will allow states to work closely with federal agencies across the boundaries to conduct management projects on firesheds which constitute the highest risk to communities, wildlife, and quality management.

I recently introduced the FIRESHEDS Act with Ranking Member Barrasso and Senators Daines and Crapo to address landscapes at extreme high risk of catastrophic fire.

The fuel is going to go. It's either got to be burned out or it has got to be removed.

We have got to stop wasting limited agency resources to needlessly redo and relitigate projects that have already undergone extensive environmental and public processes.

I appreciate your comment about the 6,000 work visas for Idahoans, but that is a drop in the bucket.

Americans have been struggling to get passports for years now and waiting weeks longer than they did before the pandemic.

This is not a partisan issue, obviously. This is an American issue. We are all in this together trying to get it done.

Foreigners have to wait months, sometimes years, to visit the United States. These delays directly hurt American industry, slow economic growth, and delay reuniting families.

A lot of us were very concerned about what happened in Sudan.

The international community must remain steadfast in documenting and prosecuting Putin's war crimes.

I welcome the ICC's recent decision to issue arrest warrants for Putin and the Russian commissioner for children's rights.
