                           THE TRUMP MANDATE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the people spoke and 
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance achieved the most historic political 
comeback in American history, while also naming extraordinary patriots 
to his cabinet: Elise Stefanik as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Tom 
Homan as the border czar, Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Kristi 
Noem as Homeland Security Secretary, Mike Waltz as National Security 
Advisor, Lee Zeldin as Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, 
Governor Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Jerusalem, and the 
extraordinary Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff, working with the deputy 
chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller.
  The Trump mandate is a recognition of his policy achievements, which 
I submitted to the Congressional Record, January 21, 2021, pages E60-
E62, and achievements to the First Lady, Melania Trump, on January 21, 
2021, pages E52-E53.
  As chairman of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia 
Subcommittee and chairman of the Helsinki Commission, I especially 
appreciate Donald Trump, who will achieve peace through strength.
  Without equivocation, he stood with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu, clearly stating Iran must not secure a nuclear weapon, 
threatening our Arab allies from Kuwait to UAE to Bahrain, Qatar, and 
Saudi Arabia, along with NATO member Turkiye.
  Trump stood with Ukraine against war criminal Putin, supplying 
Volodymyr Zelenskyy Javelin missiles, placing troops in Poland, and 
stopping the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which financed Putin's murderous 
atrocities.
  Trump stood with Taiwan, supplying defensive weapons to deter the 
Chinese Communist Party from an invasion threatening the Korean and 
Japanese shipping lanes, along with the shipping capabilities of our 
great ally, India.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more 
9/11 attacks imminent as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstitute 
existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength.
