Ben Cardin actually said...

"I appreciate the excellent work done by the Biden administration in reestablishing our rock-solid bond with NATO."

"It is paramount that the administration provide the committee with greater clarity concerning how it is addressing Turkey's role in the numerous human rights violations committed in northern Syria."

"As a NATO ally, we expect Turkey to advance democracy and human rights and yet it is moving in the opposite direction."

"We work together in a very strong bipartisan way, and we are going to continue to do that."
