As @SenatorShaheen and @SFRCdems lay out in our new report, the Trump Admin's cuts to our diplomatic infrastructure have undermined America's ability to compete with China. Congress must act quickly to reverse the damage and preserve America's ability to lead and compete.

Trump has reduced America’s economic competitiveness against China with tariffs, research funding cuts and by shutting off America to top talent. That weakens his hand in negotiations with Xi.

“Russia’s brutal attacks on civilians in Ukraine continue, while President Trump green lights Russian oil sales to fund Putin’s war machine. It’s time to put a stop to this and ramp up the pressure on Putin to negotiate.” -@SenatorShaheen
Christopher Miller@ChristopherJM

The death toll in the apartment attack in Kyiv which President Zelenskyy says was with a newly produced Russian missile stands at 12 now but could rise as rescue operations continue and several people remain unaccounted for.

Just look at the map. You can see the Trump Administration’s global retreat for yourself. “Instead of creating a united front against China, we’re pushing our closest allies into their arms.” - @SenatorShaheen

Trump meets with Xi today from a position of weakness because he has gutted our diplomatic presence around the world. Meanwhile, China fields ambassadors in almost every country. A thread 🧵 on the implications ⬇️
Senate Foreign Relations Committee@SFRCdems

🧵 China has ambassadors in almost every country in the world while America is missing in action under President Trump. That means China has senior diplomats to advance its interests where the United States does not. (1/6)

President Trump is in Beijing, and the stakes couldn't be higher for Americans. Maintaining stability and deterrence in this relationship requires strength and credibility — and President Trump lacks both.

Iran is still producing drones. They still have more than half of their missile capacity and they are still injuring our service members. Despite the rhetoric from the Administration, we have not won this war.

HEGSETH: The destruction of Iran's defense industrial base has been clear and overwhelming SHAHEEN: It's certainly not clear to me because what we see is Iran still producing drones. We have not won this war, despite the rhetoric

Congress appropriated $400 million to Ukraine, but the Pentagon has yet to spend it and @SecWar had no answers.

HEGSETH: We know Russia is a nefarious actor and account for tha-- SHAHEEN: All evidence to the contrary. We're not accounting for that if we're giving Russia the opportunity to earn $4 billion a month by leaving sanctions lifted

We have lifted oil sanctions on Russia so they can sell oil to China, and at the same time, Russia is providing information to Iran so they can target Americans.   How does that make any sense at all?

If we walk away from Ukraine, if we don't provide the support we promised, if the NATO alliance breaks up, if the transatlantic alliance breaks up, that is doing exactly what Xi wants.   All we have done is send mixed messages since President Trump got elected.

SEN. SHAHEEN: What we are hearing from our sources is the President does not want to notice the arms sale to Taiwan before he goes to China. Well, what better time to notice it?   Because that sends a very strong message that China should keep its mitts off Taiwan.
