Do you believe the Global Fund has been effective in combating AIDS and malaria?
This administration's obsession with promoting a woke agenda is destructive in its own right.
I want to thank you for your leadership, and I want to thank everyone at USAID,--you are literally doing the Lord's work--and it is national security in another form.
There are 345.2 million people that participate in some food program because of food insecurity.
Would you be willing to entertain a public-private partnership akin to the Global Fund for food security?
Our Afghan allies who fought alongside us now struggle to provide for themselves and their families, remain in hiding, and live in constant fear of being hunted down by the Taliban.
Senator Kaine and I introduced legislation to codify the CBSI to require the State Department to promote cooperation with Caribbean nations.
I am willing to do a Plan Colombia-type effort with Mexico, but I am going to put the Mexican Government on notice.
Do you believe our policies toward drug cartels, and fentanyl coming from Mexico are working?
I think we need to put money directed for Taiwan's defense needs in the bill during markup.
How about this idea. Rather than just interdicting at the border, we go to the source and declare Mexican drug cartels foreign terrorist organizations under U.S. law.
Are you going to designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law? Do you intend to do that?
We can't do more with less. We must increase our investments in our diplomatic and development tools if we want to strengthen our national security.
Do you agree with the following statement: that fentanyl coming from Mexico is killing Americans by the tens of thousands?
I think now is the time, Mr. Secretary, to label Russia state sponsor of terrorism, because they are.
Are you aware that the Congress, 100 to nothing, which is pretty rare around here, supported the idea of declaring Russia a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law?
We need to appropriate money directly to counter the influence of China, but it will not be in a mandatory spending construct.
Are there drug cartels in control of parts of Mexico, not the Government of Mexico?
The bottom line is China is working against us, when it comes to Russia: do you agree?
