The Ortega regime has already murdered hundreds of Nicaraguan citizens through the use of irregular paramilitary groups.

Nicaragua is in the middle of a violent political crisis that I fear could even become a civil war.

Yes, if confirmed, I commit to working with Congress to advance a comprehensive U.S. strategy to address the humanitarian, political, and economic crisis in Venezuela.

Clearly, we desperately need a comprehensive strategy on Venezuela.

Venezuela is the greatest challenge in our hemisphere today and while I have supported the administration's efforts, including the use of targeted sanctions against Venezuelan officials, our policy has been largely reactive.

It will be free, it will be democratic, and it will elect a new President.

We do not traditionally think of Costa Rica as a place that faces any sort of threat from transnational crime and violence, but they are deeply concerned about the trends there.

Russia is in our hemisphere, and it is largely looking for opportunities to create intelligence agreements and basing agreements.

We know that China is bribing and unfairly investing--and I say 'unfairly,' because their investings are one--their investments are one-way streets throughout the hemisphere.

President Macri recently implemented a series of positive economic reforms that has literally turned that country around.

Argentina has become an increasingly important country in South America.

It is an honor to be back before you and particularly to introduce my friend, Judge Ed Prado.

When people around the world look at what truly makes America great, it is our belief that we can do well when others do well, where prosperity is complementary not a zero sum.

We are certainly open to having meetings with North Korea, as long as the subject matter is one thing, and that is the denuclearization of the Peninsula, period.

John Cornyn, he is calling for Special Counsel Mueller to just clean the house of people on his team who have been politically active.

I ask for our colleagues to vote no on the motion to instruct, unless you happen to believe that 2 percent and below growth is the new normal for the American economy, and we have nowhere to go but down as a country; that people don't…

I thank the ranking member of the Finance Committee. I know we have other Senators who are ready to speak. Since the Senator believes that the Joint Committee on Taxation's dynamic score of our tax bill is entirely accurate, would he agree…

Any renegotiation of NAFTA should reflect that critical role that free trade will play in the economic future of Texas.

I know you have talked specifically about how it would affect your sector of the economy, but clearly, when you start talking about increasing costs to consumers, when you talk about jobs, when you talk about losing market access, those…

I think one of the amazing things to me about American agriculture is how many people the agriculture sector feeds.

I think any time you would lose any market for those products, even though it may not be, in the case of cotton, the major one or the biggest one, it is going to have a serious disruption on agriculture.

Sixty-two and a half percent of U.S. content.

I would encourage members of the subcommittee to join Senator Cornyn in supporting the NAD Bank Improvement Act of 2017.

Really, Texas has benefitted from NAFTA, and I think some might argue that it is disproportionate.

I appreciate your leadership on that very much.
