It is concerning to see several OAS member states resume diplomatic contacts with the Maduro regime.

I rise to express my support for a number of foreign affairs nominations that should receive not just cloture votes today but should receive votes on their nomination. It is a long list, including Dr. Atul Gawande to be the Assistant…

His relentless incursion into Taiwan's air defense identification zone this year are a significant threat to the people of Taiwan and the entire international community.

I rise today to oppose the joint resolution of disapproval on the sale of air-to-air missiles to Saudi Arabia, which are being used to defend against armed drone attacks from the Houthis. I think everybody in this body well knows that I…

Beijing's increasingly aggressive rhetoric and action... underscores that the Taiwan Strait remains one of the most dangerous divides in the world today.

This hearing on the future of U.S. policy and strategy with Taiwan may well prove to be one of the more consequential hearings that this committee holds this year.

Xi Jinping has orchestrated Beijing's hyper-nationalist aggression for his own domestic ends as he imposes his authoritarian neo-Maoist vision on the Chinese people.

This critical moment calls for unity of purpose, unity with our partners in Kyiv, unity with our allies, especially those who value democracy and the rule of law.

He does not get to bully the people of an independent nation into submission.

Given Secretary General Almagro's diagnosis, it is critical that the Biden administration continue efforts to restore the defense of democracy as a central pillar of U.S. foreign policy.

We must help democracies deliver, especially as they recover from the economic and social impact of the pandemic.

I am pleased that the Biden administration is already implementing the RENACER Act with new targeted sanctions and a blanket visa ban on Nicaraguan officials complicit in the dismantling of democracy, the toughest measures Ortega has ever…

After 4 years of the Trump administration failing to stand up for our fundamental values, we have acutely felt the effects and these initial steps are welcome, but we must do more because the truth is that since March the situation in the…

The next decade in the hemisphere will be a turbulent one unless the United States, the international communities, and our partners in the region are strategic in addressing these increasingly complex challenges.
