What we do as a Congress during this 2-year period... will have fundamental impact on our relations with our most important allies.

If we really want to be effective with China, we should deal from strength.

if we are on the course we are now, and we could look back 30 years from the future, we would find out by far the greatest threat is China and their activities.

It is absolutely a security issue, and diversity helps them not be leveraged by Russia in specific ways.

I could not agree with you more. I think we are talking just the opposite approach. Tariffs are divisive...

Europeans must contribute more to their defense.

When I came away even as recently as a couple weeks ago looking long range at the challenges that we have and our European allies have, China was front and center in my mind coming home with the kind of strategy investments they are making.

NATO is both indispensable and in crisis.

Congress should reaffirm regularly the U.S. commitment to NATO.

NATO's single greatest challenge today is, for the first time in NATO's history, the absence of strong, committed U.S. Presidential leadership.

We all know that Russia has used that as a weapon in the past.

The trade-off is not even close.
