U.S. engagement in Latin America is vital to securing key supply chains and countering China's influence.

For all of President Trump's shortcomings... President Trump was totally committed to trade.

I don't see any action out of the Presidency, out of the White House and under his leadership, President Biden, that demonstrates that trade is a priority.

I fear that there would not be tools for us to challenge what another country would be doing, and especially as the chairman noted, the glaringly noncompliant ways that Mexico is headed with corn.

I am very concerned that in this so-called new age of trade... we have actually lost momentum on trade.

U.S. trade policy has historically been bipartisan.

We have yet to see a comprehensive strategy on China.

I worry that a framework might be considered successful, although still ineffective, in terms of establishing what we need to establish in the world economy.

Mexico must uphold its USMCA obligations.

Trade agreements must be approved by Congress, and they should provide real market opportunities for U.S. producers.

American families, they want and need results. They have lost 2 months of wages in the Biden economy.

You did not seem to ask ITC to perform any analysis on how such a waiver would actually impact our economy and, more importantly, our workers.

A country that cannot supply their own demand for food, energy, and medicine... are politically dependent.

I introduced the bipartisan legislation to make the New Market Tax Credits permanent, H.R. 1321, and we had 126 cosponsors.

I fear what the actual impact will be.

I look forward to working with my colleagues, like Congresswoman Tenney, in also reintroducing a similar piece of legislation.

We are going to take our time--and I hope you appreciate this--to unpack what is in this massive budget proposal.

The President's inflation crisis is threatening their livelihoods.

The $650 billion small business surtax will hit mom-and-pop small businesses, violating President Biden's pledge not to increase taxes on small businesses.

President Biden's global tax surrender to foreign governments will make it better to be a foreign worker or business than an American one.

The American people, they deserve to know exactly how the Biden Administration plans to raise their taxes, and the impacts those policies will have on them.

90 percent of the new audits will be, you know, according to the data, that we can expect up to 90 percent of new audits to be on those making less than $400,000.

Last year Democrats in Congress rammed through $80 billion in mandatory funding for the IRS after your department asked for it in conjunction with the President's first budget proposal.

So in regards to audits and fairness, you will never use race or gender in deciding audits.

The budget before us today calls for $4.7 trillion in new taxes, and $6.9 trillion in new spending during a staggering debt crisis.
