RM @meeks.house.gov: Met with Danish Amb. Jesper Møller Sørensen and the Greenland Representative Jacob Isbosethsen to express my unwavering support for Denmark and Greenland.

RM @meeks.house.gov has invited Secretary Rubio and Deputy Secretary Landau to participate in a special meeting he and Committee Democrats will host next week.   The American people deserve answers from the Trump admin on its Venezuela policy—even if Republicans refuse to host public hearings.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov on Trump’s withdrawal from 66 international organizations and United Nations entities:

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov met with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan to discuss areas of concern, including the need for de-escalation and for external backers to cease armed support to militias in Yemen and Sudan.

The US joins international orgs and treaties because they ensure we can shape the global system in our favor an lean on alliances to advance American interests. Abandoning them hands leverage to our adversaries and undermines our security and prosperity. America first = America alone.

The future of Venezuela should be determined by the Venezuelan people. Not Trump, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio or Pete Hegseth. That’s not what Venezuelans voted for, that’s not what Americans voted for.

RM @meeks.house.gov: Trump believes he can bomb the world’s problems away. It’s reckless, an abuse of power and, in this case, does nothing to make Nigerians or Americans safer. Trump’s not helping communities terrorized by violent armed groups—only devastating them with bombs and foreign aid cuts.

The Trump admin scrambles to justify its illegal military actions in Venezuela, except in court where they know it won’t hold up to scrutiny. Easy way to spot the lie is when there’s a giant delta between what Trump says in public and what his admin says in court. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

Greenland belongs to its people. The Trump admin's reckless statements are destabilizing, dangerous, and undermine the very foundation of Article 5 and the NATO alliance. The American people voted for affordability at home, not threats to invade our closest friends abroad.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov following yesterday's classified briefing on the Trump administration's military action in Venezuela:

Trump wants to “run” Venezuela but refuses to deliver affordable healthcare and lower the cost of living for the American people.

For weeks Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov has called on Republicans, including Chairman Mast, to hold public hearings. Every request was denied while the admin has continued to mislead Congress and the American people about the purpose of its escalating military actions in the Western Hemisphere.

1/ RM @meeks.house.gov: Trump claims the U.S. “will run Venezuela” and is willing to put “boots on the ground” and take Venezuelan oil. This is the language of forever wars, committing U.S. forces and American taxpayers to a dangerous and open-ended foreign occupation.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov following the Trump administration’s military action in Venezuela:

RM @meeks.house.gov: The UN is right—El Fasher is a crime scene. Congress must work to end this conflict and pass my Sudan bill. It sanctions those committing atrocities, halts US arms sales to countries fueling the war and bolsters civilian protection. www.france24.com/en/africa/20...

Donald Trump’s airstrikes in Nigeria nearly hit a local hospital in an area not known for religious violence. Trump isn’t protecting Nigerian Christians when he endangers the safety of all Nigerians by misunderstanding the roots of conflict. www.cnn.com/2025/12/26/a...

This administration is only for free speech when it agrees with it. Using “free speech” as a pretext to punish those critical of Trump and Musk, or advocating for digital safety, undermines the law itself. That’s a dangerous precedent, Secretary Rubio. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/t...

Diplomatic fellowship programs like Pickering, Rangel and Payne are pipelines for recruiting and retaining the next generation of America’s foreign policy workforce. RM @meeks.house.gov is pressing Secretary Rubio over the State Department's mismanagement of these and other key programs:

Trump and Rubio struck a corrupt deal with Bukele to deport Venezuelans—without due process—to a torture gulag in El Salvador.   Democrats will continue to demand answers and hold accountable this admin for this heinous quid pro quo. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

RMs @meeks.house.gov and @keating.house.gov sent a letter to Secretary Rubio demanding answers on the admin's reckless actions toward Greenland, which harm our relationships with our allies and distract from the real foreign and domestic policy challenges Trump has repeatedly failed to address.

Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov, @raskin.house.gov & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social are demanding information from Secretary Rubio regarding reports that the admin terminated US law enforcement agreements as part of a quid pro quo with El Salvador’s Bukele, to enable third-country removals to CECOT:

Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov and @kamlager-dove.house.gov, and Chair Bill Huizenga, sent a letter to Dr. Mohammed Yunus, Chief Adviser of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, expressing concern over the total ban of a political party ahead of elections in February.

NEW: Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov and @warren.senate.gov are demanding the Trump admin provide Congress details surrounding its decision to provide licenses for AI chip sales to China. Congress cannot stand by while Trump sells US national security for profit. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

RM @meeks.house.gov joined @warren.senate.gov in a letter demanding that the Commerce Department turn over information required by statute regarding the admin’s intention to approve the sale of advanced AI chips to China despite the significant military application potential of the technology.

We couldn't agree more, Susie Wiles. America’s diplomats & foreign aid staff are the best in the business—and do incredible work to advance national security. On behalf of the American people, tell Rubio to put USAID staff back to work. It’s never too late to undo a mistake.

RM @meeks.house.gov: Trump continues to antagonize Denmark, a steadfast ally, over a fantasy about taking over Greenland. This has nothing to do with advancing US interests & everything to do with Trump’s ego. He's destroying our most important relationships. The American people will pay the price.

Qualified, expert Ambassadors have been either fired or completely disempowered in favor of corrupt loyalists. Not even Rubio is the top diplomat—it’s Trump’s real estate buddies selling away US national security to the highest bidder. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov following reports that the Trump administration is conditioning U.S. health assistance on access to Zambia’s critical minerals:

Damning evidence that clearly shows human rights atrocities in El Fasher by the RSF. The barbarity needs to end. Ranking Member Gregory Meeks will continue to hold all major US arms sales to the UAE—and any country—while it continues to arm the RSF and further enable this conflict.

RM @meeks.house.gov: Closely monitoring developments in Bangladesh, including reports of arson targeting news outlets Prothom Alo & The Daily Star. The government must ensure the safety of all its citizens & for the political process to continue peacefully, including the protection of journalists.

Still waiting for answers, Secretary Rubio

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov' statement on the FY26 NDAA:

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick today announced a bipartisan compromise on a Russia sanctions bill to hold the Kremlin accountable for its illegal and brutal war.   Full statement:

US national security is for sale under Trump. His decision to sell H200s to China is proof. RM Gregory Meeks led 13 Dems in introducing the RESTRICT Act—a bill to prohibit the sale of these advanced chips to China, protect national security and preserve American AI leadership. His statement:

I voted YES on the resolution to prevent the Trump Administration from carrying out its illegal, performative boat strikes in the Caribbean. We need to stop this madness.

At the same Zuckerberg's cozying up to Trump to avoid government regulation, Meta's looking the other way while China-based bad actors scam American users—all for even more profit. It's unacceptable. Congress cannot allow these corrupt dealings to continue without scrutiny.

1/ RM @meeks.house.gov: Honored to meet with Amb. Nada Hamadeh yesterday to discuss important issues for the U.S.-Lebanon relationship, including continued support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, progress toward full disarmament of Hezbollah...

The detention and forced labor of the Uyghurs is among the most egregious human rights abuses of our time. The US should be protecting Heng Guan for his bravery in exposing China's genocide—not deporting and exposing him to PRC retaliation. This is not what America stands for.

If Trump’s own Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' tell-all to Vanity Fair didn't make it clear enough... safe to say that the admin has been lying about the true purpose of its illegal boat strikes and reckless military buildup in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Hegseth is a pro at sharing information with reporters and the public 👊🇺🇸🔥. The American people deserve to know what the Trump administration is doing in their name. Release the video.

1/ Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov met with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani today and discussed Qatar’s role in ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas and Qatar’s role as U.S. partner in the region.

Even the president’s own chief of staff admits it’s not about the drugs. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov following the committee’s bipartisan classified briefing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on U.S. military strikes in the Western Hemisphere:

The only "crime" Jimmy Lai committed was standing up for Hong Kong's autonomy and press freedom. He should be freed immediately. www.bbc.com/news/live/c4...

Haiti's situation is dire—particularly for women & girls facing sexual & gender-based violence. The US has a moral & strategic imperative to help end it. RM @meeks.house.gov' bipartisan SAK PASE Act would force the US to come up with a plan to address this deepening crisis. Congress must pass it.

And what are the American people getting in return? Soaring costs, fewer jobs, and a waning tech and AI advantage. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for Beijing.

Secretary Rubio's been sidelined by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Ukraine and Gaza, so no surprise he has a little extra time on his hands to focus on what really matters to the American people: fonts he finds threatening. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

RM @meeks.house.gov: Since Trump hosted yet another signing of the DRC-Rwanda peace deal last week, the Rwanda-backed M23 militia seized the city of Uvira and displaced hundreds of thousands. If Trump truly wants to end the war he must push all parties to abide by the peace process.

My statement on Republicans stripping my Afghan relocation legislation from the NDAA and betraying our Afghan allies.

The American people were already paying for Trump's tariffs. Now taxpayers are footing the bill to fix a crisis HE created. Meanwhile, China's economy is booming. Trump's failed trade war is a disaster for American farmers and families.
