We promised them we would get them out, the Afghan partners, the interpreters. We left them behind.

We need to govern. And that is not just for Republicans, but in a bipartisan way, get things done for the country.

I think the situation in Ukraine is dire. The front lines are – are – it's – we can't – if we lose in Ukraine like Afghanistan…

When you stop permitting, you're going to stop project of LNG in the United States. And LNG is very clean energy as opposed to what China does.

The idea that we're not going to enforce sanctions on Iran and let them export 80 billion dollars of energy to China to then use to fund terror operations is another foreign policy issue that, quite frankly, is troubling to me.

We should've added LNG terminals in Europe rather than Nord Stream 2 from Russia.

I have no idea why this Administration decided to stop permitting the exports of LNG to other countries.

To right this wrong, of course, I introduced the Protect American Gun Exporters Act.

Rather than facilitate Commerce and help our businesses compete against China, BIS is targeting American gun exporters for crimes they did not commit.

Stopping the lawful exportation of firearms does absolutely nothing to prevent international gun crimes.

This pause was dumped on American businesses with zero warning and zero stakeholder engagement.

The only question is whether we're going to do it the smart way or with our hand tied behind our backs.

If you want to counter China, fund Ukraine. Beat Putin. That is the best that we can do to counter China.

We do not advance our goals on the backs of little kids in the DR Congo.

Everywhere you look, name the human rights abuse, Xi Jinping is excelling in it.

American energy is the cleanest energy in the world.

I never imagined a President would waive those sanctions, allowing Russian energy to--and Europe to be dependent on Russian energy.

The President's recent decision to ban LNG export permits is a perfect example of a policy that harms U.S. business interest and U.S. foreign policy.

We're beyond the point of a wakeup call.

It's critical we stop selling our sensitive technology to them and to other adversaries.

It should come as no surprise that this committee is holding once again a hearing on export controls.

We need to do it not in a political way, but in a bipartisan way.

I will stand to make sure that we do the 20-year investigation, so that they can get and find out what we did right; what we did wrong.

The American people deserve nothing less.

We cannot say, hey, we left them behind; we're not going to give them a visa to get out of there, right?
