David Pressman: “We will not equivocate in advancing the cause of liberty and human dignity.”

The pursuit of a Europe whole, free, and at peace has been the generational goal of our diplomacy during my entire career.

If confirmed, I pledge to continue that team approach and to work closely with the members and staff of this committee on our Russia policy.

Russia's unjustified and unprovoked war against Ukraine has shattered European security and undermined global economic stability.

If confirmed, I will continue working closely with Romania to strengthen our shared values of democracy and support for the rules-based order.
