This law has severely curtailed the freedoms of speech and association, the rights of minorities, and the work of human rights defenders in Hong Kong. It's a violation of international law and treaties and poses a great danger to all Hong Kongers. https://spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/DownLoadPublicCommunicationFile?gId=25487 …

We welcome the Sept. 1 joint letter from seven @UN Special Rapporteurs and Working Groups raising concerns regarding the National Security Law imposed on the people of Hong Kong by the Chinese Communist Party.

Today, the United States imposed sanctions on 11 entities for activities related to Iran's petroleum and petrochemical sectors. Three of their executives are also sanctioned. Iran must stop exploiting its natural resources to fund terror and destruction across the region.

Maduro's latest ploy to make upcoming elections appear "free and fair" is to conditionally release some political prisoners who were unjustly jailed in the first place. The only solution to the crisis in Venezuela are actual free and fair elections, not this political farce

We'll scale down our engagement with the @WHO to include reprogramming funds and reassigning our @HHSGov and @CDCgov experts. We'll identify alternative implementing partners and provide targeted funding to safeguard the health and safety of Americans and save lives globally.

Today, the @realDonaldTrump Administration continues to move forward with the United States' withdrawal from the @WHO. The WHO failed to adopt urgently needed reforms, starting with demonstrating its independence from the Chinese Communist Party.

American diplomats in China face constant barriers to their work. Today, the @StateDept imposed new requirements on senior PRC diplomats conducting meetings and events in the U.S. We will always advocate for fair treatment of our diplomats abroad.

Today's designations make clear that the United States will not tolerate the @IntlCrimCourt's reckless targeting of U.S. personnel. America's commitment to real justice and accountability remains unwavering.

Pleased to announce an increase of @PickeringProg and @RangelProgram Graduate Fellowships by 50 percent– for a total of 90 Fellows per year.  @StateDept is committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce to advance America’s prosperity, security, and values.
