The Maduro regime continues to violate internationally recognized human rights & threaten regional & int'l peace w/ impunity. It's past time the U.S. lead in supporting a credible transition to democratic order in #Venezuela. My VALOR Act will do just that.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

Seven years ago, the Burmese military launched a brutal genocide against the #Rohingya community. Today, nearly a million Rohingya refugees remain displaced. The international community must do more to support them.

Today, my thoughts are with the #Philippines and victims' families as they mourn the lives lost in the Jolo Island bombings 4yrs ago. The U.S. will continue to support our partner in countering terrorism.

As #Ukraine celebrates the 33rd anniv of its independence from #Moscow’s rule, its people should be proud of their accomplishments & look to their future w/ determination. As the fight for sovereignty continues, the U.S. will help ensure Ukraine’s success.

Yesterday marks a solemn 3yrs since 13 Americans lost their lives in a terrorist suicide bombing outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in #Afghanistan. Vicki and I continue to pray for them, those who were injured, and all of their families and loved ones.

Congrats to the people of #Moldova as they celebrate 33yrs of independence. Despite pressure from #Russia, Moldovans have persevered to defend their democracy. I look forward to supporting them as they exercise their hard-fought civil liberties & vote in their upcoming elections.

I'm concerned proposed judicial reforms in #Mexico would undermine the independence & transparency of its judiciary. I urge the López Obrador Admin to pursue reforms that enhance professional qualifications, combat corruption, & protect judicial autonomy. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

During #NationalOverdoseAwarenessWeek, we remember the 80K Americans that have died from cocaine btwn 2021-2023. The Biden-Harris Admin has allowed the eradication of illegal coca crops in #Colombia to plummet & failed to hold #Venezuela accountable for its role in trafficking.

#China continues to appease the Biden-Harris Admin with fruitless discussion so the U.S.-China relationship appears to be progressing. In reality, the admin conducts foreign policy by press release & #Xi mocks the U.S. knowing he won't budge on issues regarding Russia & fentanyl.

#HongKong has increased its persecution of innocent journalists with today’s conviction. These editors were simply reporting news which didn’t suit Beijing's narrative. They should be released immediately. wsj.com/world/china/ho…

It's been 3yrs since the Biden-Harris Admin’s hazardous withdrawal from #Afghanistan. Since then, AFG has become a safe haven for terrorists & the Taliban has all but erased women from society. Still, the admin refuses to accept responsibility for its deadly choices.

I'm deeply concerned by the Honduran gov't’s plans to terminate its extradition treaty with the U.S.. Democracy & justice require the Biden-Harris Admin & Pres. Castro to recommit to this treaty & the fight against transnational criminals like #Maduro. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

We can never forget that #fentanyl & other synthetic drugs kill 75,000 Americans every year. The Biden-Harris Admin has failed to hold #China accountable for profiting from fentanyl precursors & emboldened Mexican cartels w/ an open border. #NationalOverdoseAwarenessWeek

I commend the EU's foreign ministers for rejecting #Maduro's claim of legitimacy in #Venezuela. I encourage the #EU to match the U.S. & Canadian sanctions imposed prior to 2021. The U.S. & our allies must deny Maduro the funds to repress civilians & threaten democratic neighbors.

On #DrugOverdoseAwarenessDay, we remember the lives lost & families affected by the drug scourge in the US. Since 2021, ~450K Americans have been killed from illicit drugs like fentanyl, cocaine & others pouring through our borders. The Biden-Harris Admin must end this crisis.

It’s been 2yrs since the United Nations released its report on Chinese human rights abuses of #Uyghurs & other minorities in #Xinjiang. Sadly, #Xi has ignored this report and the atrocities continue. The UN must increase its pressure on #China to cease this genocide.

The cruel murder of Hersh Goldberg-Polin & 5 other hostages by Hamas is horrendous. These were innocent people & their families remain in my prayers. Sadly, this reminds us of the evil of Hamas. These terrorists don’t want to release hostages - they want to end the Jewish State.

I couldn’t agree more with my friend PM Mette Frederiksen. Europe is way too reliant on Chinese technology, but there is a better way forward, which I laid out in my recent report on the U.S., Europe, and our shared competition with #China. on.ft.com/3AQiEpa

It's no secret that #China works to infiltrate U.S. society at state & local levels. This is a reminder of what is called ‘subnational diplomacy’, a major tool used by the #CCP to influence Americans. I have long worked to put an end to it, but it's clear more must be done.
