John, 

All eyes are on Washington as Republicans prepare to take back the majority in the House –– but Mike isn’t taking his focus off major events happening around the globe.

Catch up on all Mike has been doing on the foreign policy front lately and sign the petition to support Mike’s push to BAN TikTok over security concerns.

Gallagher Proposes TikTok Ban

Bottom Line: "TikTok is digital fentanyl addicting our kids, and just like actual fentanyl, it ultimately goes back to the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok is owned by ByteDance. ByteDance is controlled by the CCP. That means the CCP can track your location, it can track your keystrokes, it can censor your news. Why would we give our foremost adversary that amount of power? We need to ban TikTok.”

Mike on China’s Anti-Lockdown Protests

Bottom Line: "As the CCP doubles down on oppression, we need to double down on freedom...We need to embrace American values as a self-evident contrast to the Orwellian oppression of the CCP. That’s how we win the ideological fight over the long term.”

Mike on Arming Taiwan Against China

Bottom Line: "The lesson of Ukraine is that you need to arm your partners and allies before the shooting starts. It gives you your best chance of actually avoiding war in the first place… we need to get to work now with a sense of urgency.”

Gallagher Tells Iran to Look in the Mirror

Bottom Line: "Quite a lot of chutzpah for the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism to be criticizing us… even on our worst day, people would rather have the freedom that we enjoy in the United States of America than be subject to the dictators that we see in Tehran or Beijing.”

Biden Greenlights Venezuelan Oil After Sanctions

Bottom Line: "The Treasury Department granted permission Saturday for oil giant Chevron to produce and export oil from Venezuela following the South American country’s decision to restart talks with opposition groups. The move could add supply to the global oil market, which may ease fuel prices and speed the declines in U.S. gasoline prices that have been a political burden for President Joe Biden since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.”

Thank you for reading this month’s edition of the Foreign Policy Newsletter –– we’ll be in touch soon as we monitor developing stories from around the globe.
