While I'm glad the President is visiting the Middle East, Iran's support of terrorism & the war in Gaza should be Trump’s priorities, not sketchy business deals. I hope he finds more time to discuss these threats, and less time enriching himself & his family.

This President’s business dealings—between his crypto coin scheme, his investments in Qatar for a golf course, this plane—raise serious questions. Is he more committed to the American people or himself, his bank account and his family?

Eleven years ago, 298 lives were lost when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine by a Russian-made missile. In the first step towards accountability and justice, the United Nations's aviation council has ruled that Russia was responsible for this brutal attack.

This is one of the many harrowing impacts of the Trump Administration’s brazen cuts to foreign aid. Closed clinics and decreased testing will impact women and children the most. The administration must restore funding for PEPFAR that includes HIV prevention, immediately.

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський once again said yes to peace by showing up in Ankara. Putin was a no show. Putin's fake engagement in peace talks as he continues killing civilians must end. We must pressure Russia with sanctions & support more security assistance for Ukraine." -Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

Ambassador Brink's is another principled resignation prompted by the Trump Admin's irresponsible policy. We're losing a great diplomat who served 5 presidents over 30 years—Republican & Democrat alike. It shouldn't be controversial to advise that we not appease a war criminal.
