Thanks to Chairman Royce, the End Wildlife Trafficking Act became law in 2016.

I think they would work a lot faster if the threat of a multimillion dollar fine from the SEC was hanging over their heads.
The goal here is to support economic development for the residents of the region, while preserving unique ecosystems and protecting wildlife.
I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to one of the amendments made in order by this rule. The Foxx-Davis amendment would dramatically alter American sugar policy by eliminating the economic safety net…
I thank my colleague, and I rise in opposition to the rule. SNAP is a lifeline for 40 million low-income Americans and millions of working families. It is the most effective antihunger program in the country. It is a proven pathway out of…
This is a job for our diplomats. In recent years, we have seen more and more of the State Department's responsibilities trickle to other agencies. And this is a trend we need to stop.
Promoting global prosperity is a major goal for our foreign policy, and economic assistance and development credit is an essential tool for achieving that.
Once again, the President has created a crisis where none exists and kept us all wondering what he's going to do.
I wish that had been infinite and I still hold out hope that that could be achieved if we took a different path.

The administration, in my opinion, appears to be handing Syrian territory over to the Assad regime.
Instead, the administration wants to sit back and say Europe needs to do the hard work or Congress needs to fix it.
Taking this action this afternoon I think just made the North Korea deal harder to achieve.
If he puts those sanctions back into effect, the United States will be in violation of our obligations under the nuclear deal and trigger the deal's collapse.
Congress has done its part. We have given the administration all the tools it needs to crack down on Iran for its illegal ballistic missile program, its support for terrorism, its atrocious human rights record.
I think it undermines our credibility and it's the wrong message to send, and I have to note that President Trump could not have been more wrong when he said that killing the Iran deal sends the right message to North Korea.
By announcing that we will abandon our commitment to the Paris Agreement, this administration is setting the clock back on U.S. climate action.
The Paris Agreement was and still is our best chance to address these risks for all Americans but we can't do it alone.
To me, an Administrator should be someone who cares about these things, not someone who is going to ruin these things.
