I'm grateful to #Argentina , the #CzechRepublic , #Hungary , #Micronesia , #Nauru , #Palau , & #PapuaNewGuinea for standing w/ #Israel at the UN today. The PA has not made substantive reforms, continues to implement pay-for-slay, & there is no negotiated solution btwn the PA & Israel.
Late is better than never. 3 years ago, I recommended that the U.S. should assert leadership in the Americas by enhancing the capability of our democratic allies in order to confront the instability emanating from #Venezuela . defence-blog.com/us-fighter-jet…
Today’s vote on PA membership at the United Nations is a dangerous political move that rewards terrorism. The US has made it clear it will not support full membership for the PA outside of a negotiated settlement w/ #Israel . Any efforts otherwise put US financial support to the UN at risk.
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 #Venezuela . 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 #Maduro will not prevail. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
It was a pleasure to talk this morning with David Lammy and Walter Russell Mead at the Hudson Institute about the importance of U.S.- #UK cooperation. I am hopeful future success of AUKUS & my REPO Act as our two countries work to counteract influence from #Russia & #China .
Looking forward to my conversation with David Lammy and Walter Russell Mead this morning. Tune into the Hudson Institute at 9am to listen! hudson.org/events/future-…
