Eliot Engel

The time for action to avoid the worst effects of climate change is rapidly closing.

I think it was wrong. Every nation in the world has signed on to this agreement.

I would like to invite my Republican colleagues to join the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus.

I strongly support H.R. 9 to recommit us to leadership and to climate action and to doing it right now.

It is consequential to withdraw from an international agreement we helped spearhead.

These types of agreements should be agreed to in a transparent manner that follows the Constitution and the law.

I admire his courage greatly, but we cannot allow the potential brutish actions of Nicolas Maduro to dictate American foreign policy decisions.

Rather than threaten war, the United States must continue to work with the Lima Group, Europe, and the international community to use diplomatic and economic tools to pressure Maduro.

U.S. military action with respect to Venezuela would be illegal and ill-advised.

I urge my colleagues to support this resolution and to continue to support funding for programs like the UNFPA.

This legislation passed our committee and the House last Congress and I am pleased that we are considering it again today.

I strongly support all of these bipartisan bills and resolutions in this package.

There are some who will say we should not have a debate in Congress over the use of force in Venezuela, instead we should wait and see what the President decides to do before we even have a conversation about the use of force. I must…

I do believe that it is Congress' right and ability to declare war and I think for too long we have been abrogating our responsibility to the executive branch no matter who the President was.

The U.S. tourism industry would suffer if President Trump follows through on his ill-advised desire to close the U.S.-Mexico border.

It is important for Congress to reaffirm our commitment to Taiwan and the implementation of that landmark legislation.

That should, be as far as I'm concerned, our whole policy, our whole focus on what we're doing.

But to sort of have a temper tantrum and say we're picking up all our marbles and leaving, that's the worst thing we could possibly do.

Well, we were actually flabbergasted. We were sitting with American officials when we heard that the president decided to cut all foreign aid to these countries. We had been touring and watching different programs that the United States is…

I am very supportive of the independence of Kosovo, very supportive of the U.S. alliance with Kosovo.

It has just been very frustrating, and I am sure you can understand, the stonewalling we have been getting for over a year now.

This, in my view, demonstrates contempt for diplomacy and diplomats and contempt for the Congress.

This budget request was dead the moment it arrived on Capitol Hill.

I am very worried about President Trump's statement that we are going to pull out of Syria.

All we want to know is what we are entitled to know.
