I really don't think so.

It is a budget without strategy, disconnected from the threats and challenges that must be contained.

Defeating ISIS permanently has to have a hold-and-build strategy.

This budget cuts by 18 percent migration and refugee assistance to countries like Jordan.

The drastic cuts proposed in President Trump's fiscal year 2018 budget do nothing to further either those interests or those values.

Human rights exist above the state and beyond history. They cannot be rescinded by one government any more than they can be granted by another.

To view foreign policy as simply transactional is more dangerous than its proponents realize.

I do not understand how you can cut soft power by 29 percent.

Our values make us sympathetic to your plight, and, when it's convenient, we might officially express that sympathy.

We are a country with a conscience. We have long believed moral concerns must be an essential part of our foreign policy.

Thank you, Senator Murphy. Well, we made it. I think you acquitted yourself very well, Mr. Secretary.

The proposed disproportionate reduction would be disastrous.

The President's budget represents a retreat from that leadership and the global actions that support America's security and prosperity.

A draconian and disproportionate cut of this magnitude would take funding levels for development and diplomacy programs back to levels not seen since 9/11.

We will continue to lead international development, global health, democracy and good governance, and humanitarian efforts.

The proposed cuts to public diplomacy and educational exchanges seem to us similarly misguided.

It's the worst signal to send to a good ally, the worst signal to send to the Russians.

They're fighting and dying with you in Afghanistan without caveats.

I like the way you represent our country. You have a style that's pretty good for the world as it is today.

If you are a national security component of our overall defense strategy, why we would cut you now given the threats we face?

Strategic development assistance is not charity; it is an essential, modern tool of U.S. national security.

Cuts of the magnitude proposed would be a disaster for America's long term security that rest extensively on the strength of our diplomacy.

What signal are we sending to Georgia when we cut their assistance 66 percent at a time when Russia is on the prowl?

The idea that putting America first requires withdrawal from the world is simply wrongheaded.

The terrorists love this. The terrorists hate the idea that America shows up with some food and education.
