In closing, let me say this. Everyone who knows me knows that I hold Iran guilty to many nefarious things that are happening in that region. This is not really about Iran. Iran is providing dangerous weapons to the Houthis, and the Houthis…

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…

The socialist policies of Nicolas Maduro have turned the once rich country into a failed mafia State.

They did not beat up on our allies the way that Donald J. Trump has.

I oppose military intervention in Venezuela.

In closing, let me say, it is critical that we speak out against strong men and dictators throughout the world. We need to demand justice for those unable to do so themselves. As we have mentioned, Boris Nemtsov was brutally murdered for…
