ROGERS: U.S. WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY CHINA AND RUSSIA

Statement

"Continued cooperation between China and Russia is a stark reminder of the challenge we face: for the first time in history, the United States must deter two near-peer nuclear adversaries simultaneously. It's clear that China and Russia's recent naval patrol was meant to intimidate the United States. By investing in the modernization of our nuclear deterrent, the bedrock of U.S. national security, the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act sends a strong message to both China and Russia: The United States cannot be intimidated."
