I find it embarrassing. I think it is antithetical to our strategic interests.

Talking about a treaty without strong action only encourages China to further test U.S. resolve.

I do believe we should put these folks on the field.

The days of admiring the problem from afar must be over.

The Administration wrongfully insisted it is winning the competition with China. Not so.

I do think, and I will just state clearly that Iran is an implacable foe of the United States.

Aggressively targeting China should be the top priority in U.S. sanctions policy.

This was not a good idea, which is an understatement.

It is past time we take a tougher line to stop Chinese malign influence.

The Administration's record is dismal. China is tightening its linkages with our adversaries, and the Administration is doing almost nothing about it.

I think the Europeans, because of their experience with Russia, are very, very reluctant to make the same mistake with China.

China's ambitions are global. It is proactive in every region and reaps strategic benefit from chaos in Europe and the Middle East.

I find this preposterous.

I believe President Salva Kiir, First Vice President Riek Machar, and other South Sudanese political leaders have collectively failed to meet the conditions for genuine and peaceful elections in South Sudan.

I do not think they are doing themselves any favor by helping to feed the Russian war machine.

They want to participate in that.

In April you said China was the primary contributor to Russia's military complex, and the U.S. has strong evidence China is providing drone and missile technology, satellite imagery, machine tools, and other items that aid Moscow's defense…

Transitional government leaders should act with urgency to create conditions for a genuine and peaceful electoral process.

Despite that, this budget undermines effective coordination of U.S. global health security.

We cannot use U.S. taxpayer dollars to support an open ended, poorly conceived mission in a country plagued by extreme gang violence and political instability without some kind of assurances that things are going to be different this time.

This proposed budget does contain a poison pill... in the form of a, quote, 'Green Climate Fund' which proposes to transfer U.S. taxpayer money to China through the United Nations.

I also did not and will never agree to negotiations at the World Health Assembly that would trade away U.S. intellectual property rights.

In Africa, we have had coups in seven countries in the last 3 years.

It appears we are at the start of a new era in global affairs, one marked by growing instability, increasing competition, and fraying economic relationships.

I got to tell you on the ICC you got it exactly right. Your characterization of it being shameful equivalence that they have engaged in yesterday is actually stunning.
