                          WORLD STAGE WEAKNESS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, before President Biden took office, there was 
no war in Ukraine, Israel had not suffered a brutal attack from Iran-
backed Hamas terrorists, and America was respected on the world stage.
  Now, 3 years into the Biden administration, a message has been sent 
far and wide to our enemies and adversaries around the world: America's 
leadership is weak. Whether it was the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, 
the appeasement of Iran, or the delay and downright refusal to stand up 
to Moscow, the world has been plunged into chaos.
  Now, we must deal with the consequences. Military servicemembers' 
lives are at risk, Mr. Speaker. Our enemies are emboldened more than 
ever. That is why House Republicans are pursuing policies that counter 
China, promote peace through strength, and support our troops and 
allies to deter increasing global threats.
  We are committed to the security of the United States of America.
