John Rose: Relationship between US, Israel critical to defeat terrorism

At the same time, the two countries share many strategic goals and work together on security initiatives that have saved countless American and Israeli lives.

Anthony Gonzalez: China cannot be trusted on international stage

As the Wuhan Coronavirus global pandemic proved, China cannot be trusted on the international stage. China must either adopt reforms, or the world needs to stop doing business with China. Since entering the WTO, they have abused international agreements, violated the human rights of their own people, and now, allowed a global pandemic to wreak havoc on our lives. The Chinese Communist Party must be held accountable for their actions and our relationship must be completely recalibrated.

Israel and the United States share a friendship based not only on common strategic interests but also on a common commitment to freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.

Mikie Sherrill: Most important national security tool is diplomacy

The most important tool in our national security toolbox is diplomacy. I support a fully-staffed State Department to carry out the hard, necessary work of strategic diplomacy. The cuts to the State Department prevent us from dealing with developing international crises, strengthening partnerships, or applying pressure to bad actors.

Mikie Sherrill: Maintain our long-standing relationship with Israel

The only way the United States will be able to face these challenges is through strengthening our relationships with our traditional allies. This must include Israel. Our partnership with Israel is instrumental to global security and has helped pioneer incredible discoveries that have changed the face of technology, homeland security, medicine, clean energy, and agriculture. In Congress I will work to ensure that our long-standing relationship with Israel remains strong. Source: 2018 NJ-11 House campaign website MikieSherrill.com Apr 29, 2020

Angie Craig: We're strongest when we're leading a coalition of countries

Amy McGrath: America's role in the world is that of a unique leader

Our role in the world is unique and we must strive to be the champion of democratic movements, human rights (including women's rights), justice, equality, opportunity, and freedoms of speech, religion and press. I fear our current President does not respect the values that tie us to our closest allies and partners and the significance of America being the 'shining city on a hill.'
