WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the statement below following President Trump’s address to a Joint Session of Congress this evening.
“Today, America faces threats from every corner of the world. Hostile powers like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran have formed an authoritarian axis that seeks to weaken the United States.
“President Trump’s speech tonight made clear that he will be the strong leader America needs at this turbulent time. Under his administration, American foreign policy will reflect a new era that places American interests front and center as we seek to protect U.S. national security.
“I look forward to working with President Trump, his administration, and my colleagues in Congress to make America safer and stronger.”
