Washington, D.C.- Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) issued the following statement on the safety of American citizens in Sudan.
“There will be consequences for those who interfere in the safe passage of American citizens, including our diplomats, who are fleeing indiscriminate violence in Khartoum and throughout Sudan.
