10/10/19 - Rep. Zeldin posted the following to Facebook: "Regarding this impeachment circus and the Turkey-Syria-Kurdish developments, I just joined Fox News' America's Newsroom. While Adam Schiff cherry picks info to release, withholds key facts and outright lies, it is important to get out the entire story. It was also good to be able share some of my personal thoughts on the developments in Northern Syria. Watch here ??" View the Facebook post here.

03/15/19 - Rep. Zeldin posted the following to Facebook: "It is greatly concerning that NATO Member Turkey is purchasing the Russian S-400 air defense missile system despite warnings that the system is not compatible with the rest of NATO's system. Furthermore, as a participant in the US-led F-35 program (acquiring 2 F-35s later this year), which is designed to evade these very missile systems, Turkey's possession of both systems would threaten the integrity of the F-35’s state of the art technology. This week, in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, I discussed this with Former United States Permanent Representative to NATO Douglas Lute and Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Derek Chollet. If Turkey continues forward with its purchase of the S-400, the US should withhold delivery of the F-35." View the Facebook post here.

01/16/19 - Rep. Zeldin posted the following to Facebook: "Americans woke up this morning deeply saddened to learn the tragic news that U.S. military personnel were killed and wounded in a suicide attack in Manbij, Syria, while on patrol leading coalition forces. These service members and their families sacrificed everything as part of the world’s greatest military power in defense of the greatest nation in the world. We must not only pray for these heroes, but recommit to enacting the most effective and resilient policy to ensure their lives were not lost in vain. While ISIS has been nearly wiped off of the map in Iraq and Syria, they were not entirely eliminated. Candidly, individuals may potentially identify themselves as ISIS fighters for not only years, but decades to come. The resolve of the United States and other countries around the world must never waver.

We must ensure that any removal of troops from Syria is done in a manner that deliberately required conditions and objectives to be adequately met. It’s vital that any vacuum ever created by the departure of American leadership on the ground does not ever get filled by aggressors and bad actors who cause an even larger national security threat than before that vacuum was first created. In Syria, for example, we don’t want to see Turkey come in and wipe out the Kurds; nor do we want to see ISIS re-establishing a caliphate. American troops have done an exceptional job of almost completely wiping out ISIS on the ground, and we must ensure we hold that progress. I joined Fox News' America's Newsroom this morning from the Capitol to discuss." View the Facebook post here.
