Roger Wicker: “I believe they are a necessity to project American influence in regions such as the Asia-Pacific.”

We should enact this bipartisan measure to exert maximum economic pressure on Putin’s war machine and help bring this unjust war to an end.

I also oppose the U.S. lifting any sanctions on Iran, or unfreezing Iranian funds, in exchange for Iran’s mere agreement to negotiate for another 60 days.

The $300 billion fund for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran — though not funded by U.S. taxpayers — would make Iran’s payoff under President Obama’s 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison.

The Iranian regime has not renounced its ultimate goal — ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.’ The regime will invest every penny it receives to further that aim.
