The House just PASSED Tom's bipartisan bill — the CORRUPT Act! This bill holds Putin’s enablers accountable for supporting his human rights abuses & military aggression by imposing sanctions on Russian officials most critical to the regime.
Chairman Gregory Meeks: I commend the Administration for its leadership in facilitating dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I urge both parties to maintain the current ceasefire and to work toward lasting peace through diplomacy.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan on Monday in a bid to ease tensions and maintain a fragile ceasefire between the ex-Soviet countries and rivals following the largest outbreak of hostilities in more than two years.
Chairman Gregory Meeks: US and international support for Ukraine is making a difference and must be sustained. I enjoyed meeting with Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba at , reaffirming the US Congress will stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as this unjust war continues.

Global Food Security Reauthorization Legislation Passes with Bipartisan Support.
Statement from Chairman Gregory Meeks:
https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/2022/9/global-food-security-reauthorization-legislation-passes-with-bipartisan-support
Yesterday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee marked up and passed H.R. 8446, the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act of 2022 led by Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), and cosponsored by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Ranking Member Michael McCaul (R-TX).
Global Food Security Reauthorization Legislation Passes with Bipartisan Support September 15, 2022 Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee marked up and passed H.R. 8446, the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act of 2022 led by Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Rep. Chris...
Global Food Security Reauthorization Legislation Passes with Bipartisan Support:
“I am proud that today my Committee took up and unanimously passed the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act to extend the U.S. government’s flagship initiative to combat global hunger for another five years,” said Chairman Gregory Meeks. “This comes at a critical time of profound food insecurity around the world due to compounding factors of climate change and extreme weather, conflict, COVID-19, and the consequences of Russia’s war in Ukraine. I hope to work with colleagues in the House and Senate on a bipartisan basis to swiftly enact this bill into law.”
“The Global Food Security Act improves food security, increases economic opportunity, and saves lives through strategic investments in USAID’s Feed the Future Initiative,” said Congresswoman Betty McCollum. “I was proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation to reauthorize U.S. investments to fight food insecurity and poverty around the world, especially as Russia’s war on Ukraine has exacerbated the global food crisis, and I’m glad to see it pass the House Foreign Affairs Committee today. I’ll continue to work to advance this vital legislation, and I thank Chair Meeks, Ranking Member McCaul, and Rep. Smith for their partnership and leadership.”
“Globally, 50 million people across 45 countries are on the brink of famine,” said Ranking Member Michael McCaul. “In Somalia, we are days away from an official famine declaration, and over 300,000 children are facing emergency starvation there as we speak. Yet, amidst this global crisis, we cannot lose focus on longer term investments in food security and agricultural-led economic growth. Ultimately, this bill builds the capacities of families and communities to provide for themselves. I hope the House quickly advances this legislation and I want to thank Senator Risch and Senator Casey for their leadership on this issue in the Senate. Now is not the time to risk allowing key authorities to expire.”
“Our bill promotes food security, resilience and nutrition in developing nations consistent with U.S. national security interests,” said Congressman Chris Smith. “By focusing on agriculture-led economic development, it promotes self-sufficiency and helps inoculate governments from instability attributable to food insecurity—something very much in America’s interest, as history shows that global food shortages threaten to topple governments. It also aims to better coordinate programs within the U.S. government to make them more efficient, thereby stretching the taxpayer dollar while helping give others a leg up.”

“...we remain concerned by continued reports – both by the State Department as well as credible international and Egyptian organizations – about the ongoing, pervasive, and systemic violations of human rights in Egypt that risk destabilizing the country”
“...as the Department weighs whether to grant Egypt the $300 million in FY21 FMF or to withhold such funds from obligation, we call on you to not to certify that Egypt has taken “sustained and effective steps” to implement the criteria as required by law”
“Unfortunately, while the Egyptian government released some political prisoners and launched certain initiatives aimed at improving the human rights situation inside the country, it has failed to take “sustained and effective steps” required by statute and has still not completed all of the administration’s conditions placed on the $130 million withheld last September.”
“As the Biden administration continues to seek to prioritize human rights in our foreign policy following the Trump administration’s woeful abdication of our democratic principles, we call on you to uphold these values – and adhere to the spirit and intent of the law – in our bilateral relationship with Egypt.”

Chairman Gregory Meeks, Ranking Member Michael McCaul Issue Statement on Sudan’s Draft Transitional Constitution Framework:
“We welcome the Sudan Bar Association’s draft transitional constitution framework, and their efforts to engage a diverse set of Sudanese pro-democracy stakeholders in putting forward this proposal. This framework could help build an inclusive new civilian governing arrangement following the October 25, 2021 military coup in Sudan. We urge all stakeholders to consider this document seriously, take steps to further develop its principles constructively, and build consensus around a path forward that includes a wide range of civil society representatives.
“We are pleased that U.S. Ambassador John Godfrey has arrived in Khartoum, signaling the deepening ties between the people of Sudan and the United States. But cooperation between our governments will only occur once a civilian-led transitional government is established. We reiterate our calls for accountability for violence and human rights abuses, and continue to stand with the Sudanese people in their pursuit of democracy, peace, and justice.”

Meeks, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on the introduction of his Department of State Authoriz....
Chairman Gregory Meeks Issues Statement on Introduction of the State Department Authorization Act:
“The 2022 State Department authorization bill I’ve introduced today builds upon the work of last year’s bipartisan authorization bill, the first to be signed into law in almost 20 years. That effort was critical to providing the State Department and our diplomats important tools to advance American interests around the world. This year’s authorization bill, drafted in close coordination between the majority and minority of the Committee, contains provisions from both Democrats and Republicans that advance U.S. national interests, and establish a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce. It supports State Department operations and personnel by focusing on modernization and training to ensure the State Department remains the pre-eminent diplomatic institution in the world.
“Despite months of bipartisan work to reach agreement on this legislative text, my Republican colleagues have chosen to play politics with essential Committee responsibilities and U.S. national security, undermining our efforts over the last two Congresses to work across party lines to restore our Committee’s jurisdiction in authorizing the Department. Their refusal to support the introduction of this bipartisan legislation for political reasons is an abdication of their responsibility to equip the State Department personnel serving our country, and a failure to serve Americans who want Congress to do its job.
“I am proud to introduce this bill and hope to advance it on a bipartisan basis. I invite both my Democratic and Republican colleagues to review it and join me as co-sponsors, and I look forward to working with House leadership and the Senate to find a path forward for these critical provisions to be signed into law.”

Chairman Gregory Meeks: A year after the Afghanistan withdrawal, the strike against al-Zawahiri shows the US can advance our counterterrorism interests abroad without putting our troops in harm’s way. It was the right decision. Americans—and our troops—are safer because of it.
Chairman Gregory Meeks: We should stick to the policies that have kept Taiwan’s vibrant economy and democracy safe for decades. Recent escalation in the Taiwan Strait can be blamed squarely on Beijing trying to change the status quo.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee was the first Committee to hold a hearing with a cabinet official on the Afghanistan withdrawal. Real oversight isn’t just about 20 days last August—it must evaluate Trump’s disastrous deal with the Taliban that fundamentally altered the power structures in Afghanistan.
Chairman Gregory Meeks: As Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I told our friends in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, that the US is going to stand up for and work with them—and Congress will make sure we are in the region to stay. My interview on CNN New Day ⤵️

Chairman Gregory Meeks: Failing to follow through as a partner with Africa risks an increasingly destabilized region, and a missed opportunity to strengthen social and economic bonds with a region that actively seeks to be closer to the United States.
Chairman Gregory Meeks: President Joe Biden has put in place crippling export controls to hold Russia accountable for its war in Ukraine and to put pressure on the Russian military - and these controls are effective because we are not working alone.
Tune in for a discussion about US economic policy against Russia with Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan F. Estevez. Chairman Meeks Opening Remarks: Over the past five months, we have seen Russia engage in an unjustified and inhumane war against Ukraine. This past week, Russian cruise missiles leveled the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia, in an act President Zelensky described as “an act of Russian terror” that killed over 20 and injured over 100 civilians. Russia’s inhumane and despicable war has led to the death of approximately 5,000 Ukrainian civilians, including over 400 children. With its indiscriminate bombing of cities and murder of countless captured civilians, Russia is being investigated for over 23,000 war crimes. Through it all, the world has seen and been inspired by the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Putin naively thought the Ukrainian people would buckle under such barbarity – and the world would lack the unity and resolve to push back. On both counts, Vladimir Putin was wrong – he not only underestimated the Ukrainian people; he underestimated the United States of America. America has rallied a tremendous coalition of countries to support Ukraine’s war efforts, to provide life-saving assistance to the Ukrainian people, and to inflict economic pain on Putin’s Russia. In addition to robust sanctions, the United States has put in place crippling export controls that are putting great pressure on Putin at home. For example, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security has implemented expansive controls on dual-use items to keep critical technology out of Russia – further debilitating Russia’s economy and undermining Putin’s war effort in Ukraine. These controls are effective because we are not working alone. The Biden Administration has enlisted 37 other nations to adopt similar controls against Russia and Belarus, a level of international cooperation on export controls the world
