                     U.S.-U.K. SOLIDARITY FOR PEACE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I was grateful to 
participate this weekend in the legislative exchange program of the 
Association of Marshall Scholars to Oxford and London, led by co-
chairs, Mark Green and  Jim Himes; with emeritus co-chairs, Linda 
Sanchez and  Mike Turner.
  It was historic as the alliance was fulfilled as real with actions.
  Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met in Kyiv on Friday with President 
Volodymyr Zelenskyy to announce billions more aid for Ukraine. We 
observed Parliament on Monday where he provided details warmly welcomed 
by all political parties.
  Simultaneously, Britain and America launched air strikes in self-
defense against Tehran regime Houthi puppets.
  Yesterday, at Chatham House in London, we met with Defence Secretary 
Grant Shapps, who warned Iran: ``We see you, we see through what you're 
doing.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with Biden open borders for 
terrorists. It is sadly clear there will be more 9/11 attacks across 
America imminent, as warned by the FBI.
