National Security

Ensuring America's national security is of upmost importance. Our government has a constitutional obligation to provide for the common defense. We need a comprehensive national security strategy to address threats to our country. We must ensure our service members have the resources they need to address the growing threats to our national security, such as Iran, Russia, China, and cybercriminals. We must ensure our men and women in uniform have the training, resources, and equipment needed to protect our nation. I have helped pass legislation to protect our nation here at home and abroad. I have also introduced legislation to hold Iran accountable and deter the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Washington, D.C. (March 11, 2024) - Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) today demanded President Biden not to renew the sanctions waiver that allowed Iran access to $10 billion worth of frozen funds. Rep. Steil is urging the Biden administration to let the waiver expire this week to re-establish deterrence and ramp up sanctions pressure to prevent Iran from fomenting a larger regional conflict in the Middle East.
Below are excerpts and highlights from the letter:

(November 9, 2023) - Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) today introduced the End Financing for Hamas and State Sponsors of Terrorism Act (H.R. 6632).
