On Sunday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) will discuss the situation in Syria on FOX's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

Washington, D.C. – House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) and Asia and the Pacific Subcommittee Chairman Ted Yoho (R-FL) today released the below statement after introducing a resolution to strengthen trade relations with Taiwan. The resolution, H.Res. 271, is authored by Rep. Yoho and co-sponsored by Rep. Royce. “Taiwan is the United States’ tenth largest goods trading partner and the seventh largest market for America’s farmers and ranchers. The relationship between our two countries has been and always will be strong. With our shared values of democracy and open markets, it is important that we continue to grow this valued partnership. By doing so, it will not only benefit both our countries economically but it will promote democratic values and regional security in the Asia-Pacific region.”

"Assad has been caught red-handed carrying out another abhorrent chemical attack, and the administration has taken a measured response. Moving ahead, the administration must work with Congress and lay out clear policy goals for Syria and the region.”

“I am glad to see Vladimir Kara-Murza is recovering physically and his spirit remains as strong as ever. His commitment to establishing democracy and freedom in Russia is truly unshakeable.”

During the meeting Chairman Royce insisted that if the U.S. and Vietnam are to build a stronger relationship, the Vietnamese government must honor the basic human rights of the Vietnamese people.

By creating a business environment that encourages entrepreneurialism and provides companies with certainty, Egypt could begin to grow its economy and create jobs for the Egyptian people.

“The images and video we are seeing from Syria today are sickening."

It is time for us to ramp up the pressure. That is why I am supporting these measures today, which urge the State Department to re-list North Korea as a state sponsor of terror and condemn North Korea’s development of an ICBM. By passing these measures, we are taking important steps to push back against North Korea’s dangerous ambitions.”

This afternoon on Fox Business, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) discussed the steps he is taking to combat North Korea’s threatening and urgent actions.
