David Cicilline: “The President has passed near-term responsibility for the issue to Congress, threatening to terminate the JCPOA”

The Goldman Act empowered the State Department to seek the return of American children, yet, the department, in my opinion, has not used the full of range of tools as Congress has intended.

Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.

Democracies consistently prove to be the most reliable geopolitical allies and trading partners for our country.

We must remember that child abduction is child abuse and it has devastating emotional, psychological, and even physical consequences for both abducted children and their families left behind.
