Armstrong (R-ND-0) 11/01/2021: Retweet of @SenKevinCramer – “. @POTUS says the idea OPEC+ countries won’t produce more oil to fuel our nation is “not right.” What's not right is relying on Russia and Saudi Arabia for a dirtier product all while the administration wages war on our domestic producers and raises costs for every American.

Coons (D-DE) 11/02/2021: Twitter thread – “For over two decades, the African Growth and Opportunity Act or #AGOA has promoted economic growth & reform in sub-Saharan Africa through preferential access to U.S. markets for eligible countries, and has strengthened commercial ties between the U.S. and the African continent. The bipartisan legislation that established #AGOA is crystal clear — countries that violate internationally recognized human rights cannot participate. Today, President Biden notified #Ethiopia of his intent to withdraw the country’s AGOA benefits absent urgent action to address widespread abuses of human rights. I regret it has come to this, but I support the President’s decision to follow the letter of the law. I urge the Ethiopian government, the TPLF, and other warring parties to protect human rights, immediately work towards a political solution to the conflict, and open and maintain humanitarian access channels so the U.S. and Ethiopia can restore and rebuild our partnership.”
