Opinion by Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer: A unified U.S. Senate is a force for freedom in the world
Back then, it felt like democracies in countries across the globe were losing ground to authoritarianism. Tonight, in my own remarks to the conference, it will be my great honor to deliver that same message: No one should ever count America out.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his illegal, unprovoked and destabilizing invasion of Ukraine, the Senate has led the way in showing that America would live up to our commitment to support and defend democracy against autocratic regimes.To the people of Ukraine, I pledge that the U.S. Senate will not abandon our commitment to stand together in this time of war.
In America and Europe, there are some on the hard right who say we should abandon Ukraine and negotiate with Putin. It is ironic that the hard right, which historically opposed communism, now openly flirts with autocrats like Putin. This problem exists on both sides of the Atlantic.The good news is that majorities in both parties stand with Ukraine. I want to thank my Republican colleagues who have championed aid to the Ukrainians, especially Leader McConnell.
China’s deployment and innovations in artificial intelligence, for instance, have empowered it to monitor and control its citizens in ways once thought unimaginable — a challenge we must respond to now. If our transatlantic partnership can help define the norms for AI’s proper use, we can prevent China from gaining access to this technology and exploiting it to further its autocratic designs.The democratic international order must stand strong to confront the rise of the Chinese Communist Party.
