I believe that we should use all of the resources in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for these important dredging projects.

It is a waste of a good resource, and saying you have to give up permanent in order to get something that only lasts for 5 years is something that ultimately, then, reach stalemate, so that is not good.

The conditions described in Syria show a country that's been ravaged by Assad, Russia, Iran, and violent extremists.

The Trump administration just terminated Temporary Protected Status for El Salvador this week, leaving 200,000 beneficiaries stuck between going home to a violent country, or staying here illegally.

Further sanctions on Iran and Iranian-backed groups are only one tool under consideration to limit Iranian malign activities in the region.

The Houthis have repeatedly used Iranian ballistic missile and cruise missile technology and have targeted Aramco facilities.

During negotiations, Griffiths must address Houthi threats to Saudi Arabia's legitimate national security concerns.

The administration has repeatedly admonished Iran for its provision to the Houthis of ballistic missiles that threaten Saudi Arabia's major population centers.

I hope so. Armenians in America are maybe the most successful ethnic group. We want to make sure that the Armenians who stay can enjoy all of their God-given abilities as well, and I think we have to help to just continue to promote the…

If confirmed, advancing dignity and human rights for all will be a top priority for my engagement with the Government of Brunei.

Promoting, protecting, and advancing human rights, including of LGBTI persons, has long been and remains the policy of the United States.

I think the more quickly we come to grips with it and name it for what it is, the more quickly we put in place policies that we can look back on and be proud that we took the strongest possible steps.

If confirmed, I would continue to press forward along the broad front of our economic engagement with Mongolia.

I agree with Senator Rubio very strongly that this is very important determination.
