The Biden Admin’s -20 report today has given a politically-damaging assessment, yet seeks to have it both ways. These highly-politicized reporting requirements will eventually aim at other allies, impeding our ability to deter & . foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

After 2 months & an estimated $320M to operate, the Biden Admin’s vanity project pier will have little capacity to actually provide assistance to people in Gaza. The admin will go great lengths to waste US tax payer dollars to appease the left. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

I applaud for President-elect Mulino's resolve to address the devastating illegal migration crisis affecting our countries – this is more than the Biden Admin has done. The U.S. should not hesitate to support this important effort. france24.com/en/americas/20…

I'm concerned to hear journalists, opposition politicians, & civil society leaders have been targeted w/ threats of violence for their opposition to 's proposed foreign agents law. In an open democracy, all voices must be allowed to speak. This intimidation must stop.

Biden’s threat to made it clear he & his admin are more concerned w/ pacifying anti-Israel, & often anti-Semitic, sentiment among potential voters than w/ supporting our close partner during a critical time of need. Israel deserves better. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

The Palestinian Authority is deeply flawed, plagued by corruption, and incites terrorism. Giving the PA a voice at the United Nations is preposterous. The NOPE Act will ensure taxpayer dollars are not used to give the PA credibility. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

I'm gravely concerned about the criminal Maduro regime in . It's crucial the EU renew all restrictive measures on Venezuela & regime leaders, and align its sanctions w/ the U.S. & Canada. This will send a message that will not prevail. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

It’s good to see EU member states making progress on concepts from my REPO Act. This is a good first step. Using 's frozen assets to rebuild is justifiable, and I encourage Europe to urgently continue its progress on this important issue. france24.com/en/live-news/2…
