I think it's very important that the U.S. continues to be ready to use all of the authorities contained within PEESA and CAATSA which are the laws of the land when it comes to this.

I am increasingly concerned about what appears to be a deliberate and a systematic campaign by the Mexican Government to undermine American companies and especially American energy companies.

I intend to work on these issues, if confirmed, and if I get your support.

The Biden administration seems bound and determined to unwind all of the positive progress made in the Middle East.

Throwing away historic Middle East peace agreements because the administration does not like their predecessor is extraordinarily foolish.

If Nord Stream 2 is brought online it will provide Russia with energy hegemony over our NATO allies.

The only reason the pipeline is being completed is because Joe Biden waived the sanctions that were passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Congress.

That clarity produced the Abraham Accords, I believe.

I think that President Biden made an enormous and, indeed, a generational geopolitical mistake by effectively giving that pipeline to Vladimir Putin.

The Abraham Accords were historic peace agreements, the first in decades achieved in the region.

Will you use public platforms--like social media--to raise awareness of the atrocities being committed by the Chinese government?

This decision was just one of a series of moves that the Mexican Government has pursued to roll back Mexico's historic 2013 energy sector liberalization reforms.
