Iran
Zeldin (R-NY-1) 06/26/2022: Tweet – “When the US cut off Russian oil imports, the right answer wasn't to go beg Iran & Venezuela. The US needs to reverse Biden's backwards energy policy, ramp up domestic energy production & become energy independent again. Last night, I discussed with @dbongino on @UnfilteredOnFox.

Zeldin (R-NY-1) 06/26/2022: GETTR Post – “When Russian oil imports were recently cut off, the right answer wasn't to run off to Iran and Venezuela to beg for oil. The United States should instead be ramping up domestic energy production and becoming energy independent again. US energy policy has been so backwards since President Biden got into office. Right out of the gate, he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline project and fast tracked NordStream2. In New York, the state should reverse its ban on the safe extraction of natural gas and approve new pipeline construction applications. Last night, I was on Unfiltered with Dan Bongino on Fox News to discuss.”
Saudi Arabia
Mast (R-FL-18) 06/25/2022: Tweet – “Gas is $5 per gallon, and we learned this week that President Biden is going to travel to Saudi Arabia to discuss oil prices with King Salman. Still waiting for him to travel to Texas to discuss oil prices with American energy producers. #UnleashAmericanEnergy”
Wyden (D-OR) 06/25/2022: Tweet – “Running with the right crowd today in Portland w/Washington County mayors @teri_lenahan, @SteveCallaway2, @laceybeaty & Pete Truax in our united front opposing this Saudi blood money coming into our backyard via LIV golf: Before it even arrives, golf's rogue tour roils a small Oregon town... | washingtonpost.com Link to image”
Turkey
Kustoff (R-TN-8) 06/25/2022: Tweet – “I met with former NBA player @EnesFreedom, an outspoken fighter for civil rights in countries like China and Turkey. The U.S. cannot allow the CCP to continue committing human rights abuses. I appreciate Mr. Freedom's leadership, and for working to hold China accountable. Link to image”
Horn of Africa
Sherman (D-CA-30) 06/25/2022: Twitter thread – “Was pleased to get a classified briefing from Tracey Ann Jacobson, Chargé d'Affaires of the United States to Ethiopia and our chief diplomat in Addis. (1/3) While I can't reveal the classified information provided, I can say that I urged that we demand that #Tigray not only receive food aid, but also the fuel necessary to get that food to the people most in need. (2/3) It's good that there appears to be a truce & I look forward to serious peace talks in the coming weeks. I also explained the need to provide aid to the 60K #Tigrayan refugees in #Sudan & focus on the Tigrayans under gov control who've been detained due to their ethnicity. (3/3)”
