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 @StateDept 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…
.@SecBlinken & 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/ @freepaulwhelan, 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…
As we commemorate the 109th #ArmenianGenocide Day of Remembrance, we remember the lives that were lost and how the legacy of the atrocities continues to affect Armenians all around the world today. The Armenian people remain resilient and we recognize their courage.
The @UN has finally admitted what I have been saying for over a decade – @UNRWA is a biased organization that promotes antisemitism. wsj.com/world/middle-e…
As Hemedti’s #RSF & allied militias torch war-torn #Sudan and escalate large-scale violence in #Darfur, I reiterate my urgent request to President Biden for a determination of these human rights abuses under the Global Magnitsky Act. Read my letter here: foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

It is imperative @SecBlinken raise the cases of American detainees in #China during his upcoming visit there. It's tone deaf that this admin continues to pursue closer "people-to-people ties" with a country that is wrongfully detaining our citizens. state.gov/secretary-blin…

CHM @RepMcCaul: "Glad to see @SenateForeign's and my REPO Act pass through SFRC—as it did in HFAC last Fall—proving bipartisan, bicameral support for transferring frozen sovereign Russian assets to rebuild #Ukraine. The Putin regime must pay for its illegal war of aggression."
@SenateForeign Thank you, #US🇺🇸 @SenateForeign Ranking Member @SenatorRisch, for backing #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 inclusion in the @UN🇺🇳 system. As a responsible member of the international community committed to upholding the rules-based order, our nation deserves to take its rightful place at #UNGA78.
For two years, the Biden administration has continued to pass the buck for its disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. The American people and our brave servicemembers deserve answers for this clear dereliction of duty.
Since the Biden Admin pulled out of #Afghanistan, the rights of women, girls & minorities have been erased, & Afg is once again a dangerous sanctuary for terror. The fallout from our withdrawal will continue to impact American interests for decades to come.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

And thank you most of all to @HFXforum for organizing such a fruitful conference with leaders, policy makers & activists from all over. The national security challenges we face are great, but the bonds we share w/ our allies & partners are greater. Halifax, à bientôt. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Great meeting with Belarus opposition leader @Tsihanouskaya. We discussed our continued commitment to supporting the pro-democracy movement in Belarus and holding the Lukashenka regime accountable for its human rights abuses and role in enabling Russia’s war against Ukraine.
With @SenatorShaheen, @SenatorRisch, @SenGillibrand, @ChrisCoons, @SenJackyRosen, @SenatorRounds, @RepSaraJacobs, @RepMcCaul, @RepJasonCrow, we discussed how 🇷🇺 is using the war to expand its permanent military presence in Belarus. We need urgent steps to defend our independence.
Our bipartisan, bicameral #HFX2022 delegation is showing that the US strongly supports Ukraine. Before hearing an address from @ZelenskyyUa, we met with Deputy PM @StefanishynaO to to assure her that we'll push for more aid as Ukraine's war against Russian invaders continues.
Productive weekend at the Halifax International Security Forum where our bicameral, bipartisan delegation met with partners from Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Canada, and Taiwan. #HFX2022
