But, you know, what's your assessment of those safeguards and the impact our presence may have on the ability of the United States not only to decide what goes where but to direct how the Afghan Fund is used?

I too am concerned about the impact Taliban control is having on the status of women and girls in Afghanistan.

We must ensure that Afghanistan is never again used as a base to plan attacks against the United States or our allies.

It is critical that we preserve the space to engage with the Taliban where we must.

Despite no longer having a physical presence in the country the United States continues to have vital interests in Afghanistan.

I strongly support Representative Kamlager-Dove's amendment.

I strongly support this bipartisan measure introduced by Representative Kamlager-Dove and Representative Young Kim to advance the Young African Leaders Initiative.

We do not support Iranian leadership that funds terrorists like Hamas, that kill young women in custody simply for not wearing a hijab.

We cannot forget that we are talking about a deal that brought Americans home from imprisonment in a totalitarian regime.

My position is diplomacy matters.

Not one--because I hear 'money going into Iran, money going into Iran, money going into Iran.' No money is going into Iran.
