WASHINGTON-- Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement on President Trump’s decision to deploy additional troops to the southern border. The President’s orders are consistent with President Obama’s 2010 and President Bush’s 2006 deployment of troops to assist with border security. Thornberry said:
“Russia has violated the INF treaty for at least ten years. In that time, Presidents of both parties have urged them to return to compliance, Congress has admonished them, the United States has imposed sanctions against them, and the President has threatened to withdraw from the treaty. None of these actions has convinced Russia to return to compliance. Instead, they have spent a decade developing a capability to which we cannot respond.
