Hill: ‘When We’re Threatened, We Take Action’
Washington, DC,
July 25, 2017
Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement after supporting legislation that places sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea: “When countries directly threaten our national security and weaken global stability, we take action. Today’s bill addresses the failings of past administrations’ policies by sanctioning Russia, Iran, and North Korea for their aggressive actions. As a member of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Terrorism and Illicit Finance, I was pleased that the bill also includes important provisions that enhance the anti-terrorism tools at the Department of the Treasury. This action demonstrates that America is returning to serve as an engaged world leader that takes action against corruption, gross violations of human rights, support for terrorism, illegal testing of ballistic missiles, and invasion of neighboring countries.“ Additional Background: For more information on the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, H.R. 3364, click here. |
