.Secretary Marco Rubio has made a strong determination to sanction the PA and PLO for their continuous efforts to undermine peace, their weaponization of international forums, and their blatant antisemitism. The U.S. will not allow terrorists to benefit from our economy.

Human traffickers are the worst of the worst — whether it is smuggling people over our southern border, or the millions trapped in modern-day slavery. We must do all we can to stop this. My bill will give the Trump Admin the tools to counter human trafficking & ensure our allies

For the first time in years, there’s hope for real accountability for the Beirut port blast that killed more than 200 people and injured thousands more. Hezbollah must not be allowed to intimidate the justice system in Lebanon like it has in the past. Hezbollah has only brought

Today marks the end of Talisman Sabre--the largest U.S.-Australian military exercise, and a tremendous opportunity to work with our allies across the globe. This exercise is what right looks like in collective deterrence and shows our adversaries that we are united against any

The videos Hamas released of Rom Braslavski & Evyatar David are extremely disturbing. Hamas is pure evil and deserves no place in this world. It is clearly intent on continuing its heinous acts—Qatar should eject them immediately. timesofisrael.com/hamas-issues-p…

This is the bold AI strategy we need. The President's EO on U.S. AI exports paired with America’s AI Action Plan makes clear: we must innovate, build, and lead AI exports abroad. President Trump knows that our allies need trusted American AI—not tools shaped by our adversaries.

I’m deeply concerned about the legal harassment of fr. President Álvaro Uribe Vélez in Colombia. He remains the strongest partner our country has had in the fight against narco-terrorism, and this case is a dark turn for Colombian institutions.

On this day 17 years ago, Russian forces invaded Georgia. Still today, Russia illegally occupies 20% of Georgia’s sovereign territory. Despite this aggression, the Georgian people have refused to accept Russian interference and continue to fight for their freedom and

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Colombian senator and presidential candidate, Miguel Uribe. The U.S. will continue to stand with Colombians against the terrorists who are responsible for his death and the backward trajectory of Colombia.

I’m glad to see Secretary Marco Rubio release the latest human rights country reports. The latest editions are easier to read and more accurately reflect internationally recognized human rights reporting. One of our shared commitments during his time in the Senate was the protection and

Today marks a heartbreaking 13 years since Austin Tice went missing in Syria. I know President Trump will do everything possible to bring him home. I encourage the new Syrian government to intensify their attempts to find him and all other missing Americans.

The Biden Administration’s disastrous and embarrassing exit from Afghanistan tarnished America’s reputation on the world stage. Since January, President Trump and his administration have been working tirelessly to show the world that America is back. I’m glad to have seen three
