WASHINGTON-Representative Eliot L. Engel, Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today made the following statement.
“This firing of the national security advisor is just the latest reminder that the Trump Administration's foreign policy is in complete disarray. With negotiations on Afghanistan upended, vital negotiations with China stalled, North Korea ramping up dangerous tests, Great Britain on the brink of crashing out of the EU, and Iran and Russia up to no good on any number of issues, American leadership is desperately needed around the world. Instead, our national security decision-making process is in chaos and America is less safe. The President needs to immediately appoint a qualified replacement who respects human rights and democracy, supports diplomacy and development, and recognizes that alliances and engagement are pillars of American foreign policy.".
