Nelson Mandela will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe. He stood firm for decades on the principle that until all South Africans enjoyed equal liberties he would not leave prison himself, declaring in his autobiography, 'Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.' Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free.
We mourn his loss and offer our condolences to his family and the people of South Africa.

The U.S.-UAE alliance is crucial to maintaining our national security interests, countering Iran, and promoting peace in the region. That alliance was strengthened following the signing of the Abraham Accords - an historic agreement to normalize relations with Israel.
As an enthusiastic supporter of our friend and ally Israel and the regional alliance President Trump has built, and after engaging in lengthy conversations with multiple agencies within our government to ensure this sale would not endanger Israel or America, I voted in favor of the U.S. sale of F-35 jets to the United Arab Emirates. This sale will also bolster America's industrial base and boost good-paying jobs in Texas, which is home to facilities where the F-35s are constructed. Most importantly - the sale sends a clear message to the world that America stands unshakably with our friends and allies.
Congrats to Southwest Airlines' Gary Kelly on being elected as Airlines for America Chairman of the Board! A strong Texan CEO like Gary as Chairman will be an asset in addressing challenges facing the air travel industry, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to do just that. --> https://bit.ly/2IwIPGB
