WASHINGTON - Today, Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13) discussed the State Department's efforts to advance President Trump's America First foreign policy agenda and strengthen U.S. national security during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rep. Jackson also spoke about his recently introduced Strategic Export Control and Border Security Enhancement Act, legislation that would codify the Office of Export Controls and Border Security within the Department of State to strengthen strategic trade controls, improve border enforcement capabilities, and protect sensitive U.S. technologies from malign foreign actors.
"Secretary Rubio has done great work to execute an America First foreign policy that is making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. From confronting the corruption of the Maduro regime to negotiations with Iran to stabilize the Middle East, he has played a critical part in spearheading the Trump administration's peace through strength initiatives," said Rep. Jackson. "American leadership should always be on behalf of American interests. Thanks to President Trump's historic foreign policy initiatives, the U.S. is no longer sitting idly by as other nations take advantage of American financial or military support."
