I'm concerned about the Foreign Agents Law that Ivanishvili & his Georgian Dream Party seem determined to pass, even though it moves them further from European integration. NGOs should be allowed to work in peace, w/o interference from a gov't that doesn't like their work.

The Biden Admin's hands-off approach has emboldened #Iran to conduct attacks against our interests with near impunity. As I shared with Citizens for a Secure and Safe America today, the admin must better curb the wave of Arab outreach to the #Assad regime, including sanctioning entities that support it.

I welcome Prime Minister Kishida's engagement in #Brazil and #Paraguay . It's crucial to strengthen partnerships in the Western Hemisphere in order to advance prosperity and counter malign influence. asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…

For years, I've urged the admin to make its #Sudan policy clear. This war not only affects the region, but also US nat'l security. Congress continues to show leadership, but now the admin needs to provide specific, actionable plans to help end this crisis. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

The NSM-20 is a redundant requirement adding unnecessary bureaucracy & frustrating allies who rely on U.S. security assistance. The admin should revoke NSM-20, abide by what's already codified in U.S. security assistance law, & support our world partners. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

Again, the Biden Admin waives sanctions on energy transactions w/ major Russian banks. This revenue fuels #Russia 's unjust war in #Ukraine . Meanwhile, the admin froze U.S. LNG exports & opposes strikes against Russian energy infrastructure. Biden's rhetoric doesn't match reality.

.Jens Stoltenberg is right. The West has been too slow to get military factories up to speed, now #Ukraine is suffering the consequences. If Ukraine had these weapons at the start of #Russia ’s war, lives could’ve been saved & we wouldn’t be racing supplies to the front lines.

I commend the #OAS on its 76th anniversary. It remains the top regional organization for Western Hemisphere democracies to promote freedom and defend sovereignty in the face of autocratic malign influence.

The ICC needs to focus its limited time and money on the true war crimes being committed by #Putin in #Ukraine , rather than interfering in #Israel ’s legitimate defense of its people against Hamas terrorists. nytimes.com/2024/04/28/wor…

As the people of #Togo mark their 64th year of independence, they are preparing to vote in April 29 polls. Unfortunately, recent constitutional changes likely mean the Gnassingbe family will expand its 57-year rule. The Togolese people deserve a real say in their leadership.

For years, I’ve urged the Department of State to engage w/ #Somaliland & not ignore its democratic progress. But as our allies praised Somaliland’s election progress this week, the admin was silent. State's 'one Somalia” policy doesn’t reflect the reality of what's happening there.

The proposed foreign agents law in #Georgia would not only severely limit free speech, but it would also undermine the U.S.’ longstanding relationship w/ Georgia. The gov't should reconsider if it wishes to stay on a path towards EU membership. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

I'm glad to see the #UK and #Canada impose sanctions on #Iran as well. Along with sanctions we passed in the supplemental, there is more work to be done to deter Iran's aggression in the Middle East. politico.eu/article/united…

.Secretary Antony Blinken & U.S. diplomats traveling to #China should request a meeting with the Panchen Lama, who turns 35 today & has been missing for 29 years. We can't ignore the #CCP ’s grave violations of religious freedom & human rights as it tries to pursue closer ties with the U.S.

I'm disappointed to hear that #EvanGershkovich 's appeal was denied. Moscow's courts are a mockery to the justice system. Evan, along w/ Free Paul Whelan, shouldn't sit in #Putin 's prisons a minute longer and should be released immediately. #IStandWithEvan apnews.com/article/russia…

Today, #China uses #Mexico as a hub to exploit our trade agreements & flood American markets w/ Chinese products, like EVs, subsidized by the U.S. gov't. We cannot allow the #CCP to continue profiting off the backs of Americans & our neighbors. bbc.com/news/business-…

It's critical our embassies are properly resourced & staffed as State aims to to advance our diplomatic interests and counter #China 's influence. My Embassy in a Box Act helps the Department get around its own bureaucratic red tape & conduct diplomacy. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
