WASHINGTON – Congressman Blake Moore issued a statement following his vote on national security and foreign affairs bills aimed at defending U.S. national security and advancing U.S. interests. Moore highlighted the importance of these bills in addressing global threats and supporting allies while strengthening the domestic economy.

In his statement, Moore emphasized the need for a proactive approach to foreign policy and national security, stating, "These packages proactively address this threat by taking a fundamentally conservative approach to foreign policy and national security: peace through strength." He also underlined the significance of supporting allies like Israel and the effort to prevent large-scale global conflicts.

Regarding the allocation of funds, Moore clarified, "The overwhelming majority of this money is going directly back into the U.S. economy and supporting jobs at home." He also provided context on the aid provided to Ukraine and its impact on defense spending and GDP.

Moore mentioned the passage of bills focusing on security investments in the Indo-Pacific region and implementing measures to address concerns related to Iran, fentanyl trafficking, Russian assets, and TikTok ownership.

Expressing disappointment over the absence of a border security measure in the final package, Moore called for bipartisan cooperation to address border-related challenges. He criticized the lack of action to secure borders under the current administration and stressed the importance of funding national security to protect American citizens and servicemembers.

In conclusion, Moore emphasized the urgency of addressing global instability caused by hostile actors and highlighted the need for resources to combat these threats effectively. The bills supported by Moore aim to ensure the safety of American citizens, protect servicemembers, and deter adversaries who pose a threat to global stability.
