Congress has expressed no change in longstanding U.S. policy toward Taiwan. Our One-China policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Six Assurances, and the Three Joint Communiqués, remains the policy of the United States.

As the son of Indian immigrants, I take great pride in both my heritage and in the country that gave my family the opportunity to build a better life. The comments shared by Trump on Truth Social about Indian immigrants are offensive, ignorant, and beneath the dignity of the office he holds.

I remain disappointed in my Republican colleagues who sit idly by while this erratic and unstable president threatens that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” We must immediately vote to reassert our constitutional authority over war powers before Donald Trump inflicts irreversible damage.

President Trump’s speech last night left the American people with more questions than answers. We still do not know what the endgame is. There was no clear articulation of the “imminent” threat posed by Iran to the homeland and he failed to lay out a credible plan for what comes next.

Putting American boots on the ground in Iran would not only result in significant casualties, but would mark a major escalation that risks indefinitely extending this ill-defined war. The American people do not want this.

The Speaker does not need Trump’s permission to take up the Senate’s bipartisan bill to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and our cybersecurity professionals. His failure to act is irresponsible. Trump and Johnson own this shutdown and the chaos it has unleashed on the public.
