I heard you say to Senator Menendez that you will take very active measures to address those kinds of activities at the State Department.
As an example, the administration stripped all reference to sexual and reproductive health and rights from the State Department's Human Rights Report.
Following Secretary Mattis and Secretary Pompeo calling for a ceasefire in Yemen we saw a dramatic increase in attacks from the Saudi-led coalition.
But as much as we collaborate, if we zero out a program, it still leaves a vacuum there.
If you are confirmed in your role as Ambassador, what you could do to encourage the Moroccan Government to better address both human trafficking and other human rights violations?
If we do not provide that funding soon, we are going to see those gains undermined.
Will you commit that as Ambassador, you will urge the Hungarian officials to reassess their position on this university?
I would argue that the language in the defense bill actually urges us to ensure that our allies are working to reduce casualties and to comply with what is international law.
I want to follow up a little bit on Senator Merkley's question about UNFPA because in March of 2017, the Trump administration invoked the Kemp-Kasten amendment to withhold U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund.
We have troops in Syria right now that are working with our allies there and doing excellent work to seek the remaining pockets of ISIS out in the east.
If I am confirmed, that will be one of the main priorities of engagement with Uzbekistan.
