I would like to get in writing some detail on that.

If the Chinese took over that port, then the consequences could be significant.

I suggest it is not reclaiming land because there is no land to reclaim. It is creating land.

I agree with that, too.

This is the new threat. This is something that the general public is not very familiar with.

It's important for the American people to understand the threats that we do face, not just here, but in China also.

I think you've already answered that.

The Army plans on repositioning two fully modernized armored brigade sets of equipment in Belgium and Netherlands.

It's important, as we look at some of what we are expecting from our NATO partners, to recognize this.

I think we all look at Russia now--and with the new strategy that we have, we include both China and Russia as the threats.

America is safer and more secure because we work with and through our allies.

We cannot let this stand.

We must be prepared to face the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.

We have always said once we get them over here, we have got them forever.

I think the more clarity we get from the Congress, the better, and I think we have to work with the executive branch.

When nations do not live up to treaties, treaties are not sustainable.

We are committed to the responsible, disciplined, and transparent use of that investment.

I look forward to working with Congress to make our funding sustained and predictable so we can fully restore our competitive military advantage.

Iran continues to spread malign influence and create instability across the Middle East.

North Korea has been on a relentless pursuit of nuclear and missile capability, and they have been clear these capabilities are intended to threaten the United States and our allies in the region.

China and Russia continue to invest across the full range of nuclear, cyber, space, and conventional capabilities.

I am confident we can deter a nuclear attack, defend the Homeland, meet our alliance commitments, and prevail in any conflict.

History proves that we are stronger when we stand united with others.

Those seeking to threaten America's experiment in democracy should know if you challenge us, it will be your longest and worst day.

I do not agree with you in the way this is set up.
