Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I rise today to talk about the
Secretary of State nominee, as well as President Trump's recent
Executive order on refugees. I believe we need a Secretary of State who
will clearly stand up to Russian aggression. I am concerned about the
nominee's past statements and his relationship with Russia, and I am
not going to be voting for him. If he is confirmed, I hope we can work
with him. Some of his newer statements have been positive on taking
that on, as well as some of the many issues confronting our world. The reason I am so focused on Russia is, first of all, we have a
significant Ukrainian population in Minnesota.
