I have significant concerns with the negative impact this will have on Treasury liquidity.

Time is not on our side, Secretary, especially when we have a $19 billion arms backlog to Taiwan.

I would like to just start out with a point of concern that I have regarding USAID funding to Palestinian organizations that foment hate, that celebrate terrorism.

As you think about the national security ramifications of what you do, and I am sure you do this every day, know that our staff stands ready to work with you.

President Lopez Obrador continues to take arbitrary and punitive actions against U.S. businesses operating in Mexico.

I think the specter of this being presented is a false choice. And the specter that you present does not have to be that.

Terrorist glorification of USAID-funded Palestinian institutions at schools, and other organizations, it is just, it is happening, and it needs to come to an end.

It weakens us as a Nation.

There was also a failure at the San Francisco Fed in terms of the oversight that they should have been providing.
