I get just as angry at the U.N. as anybody when you think that they take us for granted.
Walking away from our commitments isn't the right way to affect the reform that we all want to see.
I look forward to working with you. You have approached this job with a zest and a verve that has been refreshing.
We should be clear that Vladimir Putin is testing us. He attacked our democracy in last year's election, he is working to create divisions among our allies, and he would love nothing more than to see NATO fail. If the United States offers…
I have no further speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Let me, first of all, again thank Representative Ros-Lehtinen, who is always working really hard and is on top of issues that are so important. We really appreciate her…
Recently, I was in Brussels, and we met with NATO officials on a codel led by the Democratic leader, Ms. Pelosi. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi).

I have never seen a budget proposal so reckless in all the years I have been here.
Regardless of who the letter comes from... we will respond to any congressional inquiry.
I was taken aback by the Trump administration's apparent decision to ignore oversight requests of Democratic Members of Congress.
I am deeply skeptical about this budget, which in my view is part of a foreign policy strategy that would cripple American diplomacy and development efforts around the world.
I don't find it compelling that we can operate the State Department and diplomacy with a 33 percent cut.
I believe that the only thing that Russia understands is tough talk and if they think that we are somehow willing to relax the sanctions on them before they have complied with the Minsk framework and left Crimea I think it just will…
