Roger Wicker: “How much funding does the Marine Corps estimate will be required--or how much is available--for a SLEP?”

This funding is essential. It would accelerate immediate production of key capabilities, from exquisite munitions to low-cost hypersonics, strike weapons and drones.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated Chinese fishing vessels threaten the American maritime economy.

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.
