The ABMC and I were delighted to host a delegation from France with the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program this week in DC. I managed to get through a presentation entirely in French. ABMC

Today my wife Stacey and I said goodbye to Rep. Gene Ward. Gene was a man of incredible integrity and dedication. It was an honor for me to have served with him in the Legislature. Hawaii has a lost one of its true public servants. We wish his family well.

With the President’s action in Venezuela and recent remarks on Iran, my June op-ed in The Hill stands out only even more so today. Trump has fully embraced Bush/Clinton neocon thinking - even if inadvertently - that he’s long scorned. thehill.com/opinion/white-…

Putin’s aggression against Ukraine not only sows chaos in Europe but can destabilize Asia also. Read my editorial in today’s Nikkei Asia. asia.nikkei.com/opinion/russia…

As I stated 6 months ago in this commentary in ‘The Hill’ - with regime change now stated as a goal in Iran, Pres Trump has become the Bush/Clinton neo-con he once scorned. We should all hope for successfully establishing democracy in Tehran. thehill.com/opinion/white-…
