America First, as we said, does not mean America alone. We will continue our strong alliances and partnerships.
I know the Senate's desire to understand the United States' legal basis for military action is grounded in your constitutional role related to foreign policy and national security matters.
We know what you were doing there. We're not going to allow you to continue to do that.
