By blocking Ex-Im assistance to the government of Iran, we are preventing the U.S. taxpayer from subsidizing efforts by the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism to acquire aircraft to support its deadly activities around the world.” Watch the Congressman’s floor remarks here. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
