If the ICJ were to vote to lower the genocide threshold—opening the floodgates to frivolous genocide claims against our brave men and women in uniform—they may face the same fate as the ICC!

Russia bombarded Kyiv with more missiles at the very moment Members of Congress met with President @ZelenskyyUa and @SecRubio met with Putin lapdog Lavrov to push for an end to the invasion of Ukraine. Enough is enough. War criminal Putin desperately clings to war and death. Maximum leverage MUST be applied.

Glad to meet with my friend Congressman Joe Wilson, on the sidelines of UNGA81.

Thank you @RepJoeWilson for standing with the people of Serbia in their call for free fair elections. Bipartisan support for the SRBIJA Act is growing, with lawmakers seeking to hold the Vučić government accountable and support democracy in Serbia.

#NEW: On the sidelines of #UNGA, I asked Rep. Joe Wilson if he calls on Israel to end its strikes on Syria. “Absolutely,” he responded. “I’m really grateful the president’s envoy, Tom Barrack, has expressed opposition to the Israeli airstrikes, and it shouldn’t be done.”
