Today, thanks to former Secretary Pompeo and President Trump, the sanctions regime is on life support.

They have shielded abusive regimes, like the Government of Burma, which committed genocide against the Rohingya.

We must actively work to repair and strengthen that which has been undermined, including strong support for human rights and democracy.

In 2007, you expressed concerns over China's rapidly-increasing lending to poor nations in Africa.

I am also concerned by the way China has sought to increase its role at the United Nations...

Decreasing foreign aid would be ceding to China many of our national interests.

I hope that you and the Biden administration will remain closely engaged on is preventing the United Nations and other affiliated organizations from being used for bias attacks on Israel.

I would very much look forward to working with you on how we can increase our support for Ukraine.

It is my belief that certain types of conditions on assistance... can be powerful drivers for reform.

I give credit to President Biden for doing so.

We have to keep sanctions on Turkey for as long as it has the S-400s.

I am committed to supporting Somali efforts to complete a timely, peaceful, and transparent electoral process.

The United States remains steadfast in our support of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

I think it is critical that we make sure that any support we are giving to Azerbaijan is not in any way affecting the balance of power between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Erdogan is violating all of the U.N. Security Council Resolutions.

I find Russia's use of chemical weapons chilling and shocking.

If confirmed, I would address the concerns that are outlined in your legislation.

We have, as you know, a longstanding and multifaceted partnership with Ethiopia, and there are options for us to act.

I think has to be the basis for U.S. policy toward the Island of Ireland to maintain peace there.

Unless we take an assertive role and push back, we are going to find ourselves with a significant challenge.

I do not support the administrations decision to waive sanctions on Nord Stream 2. I think it was a mistake that will only bolster Russias position in Europe.

If confirmed, I would enthusiastically endorse the efforts of our Special Envoy, Ambassador Jeff Feltman.

I would like to thank you for your leadership on that issue. You have been a long-time champion of the U.S. Government officially recognizing the Armenian genocide.

We seek to deepen our cooperation that spans our close collaboration on war legacy and humanitarian issues.

The U.S.-Vietnam partnership has never been better.
