Edward Markey

Senators Edward Markey and Jeff Merkley, joined by Senate colleagues, are demanding that the Trump administration abandon a proposed nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia. The lawmakers say the deal is reckless and have issued a formal appeal urging the administration to walk away from negotiations over US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation.

Senator Edward Markey, the ranking member on the Senate Small Business Committee, accused SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler and the Trump administration of refusing to answer to America's more than 36 million small businesses and workers, saying Main Street is being left behind. The criticism raises concerns about the agency's responsiveness and support for small firms under the current administration.
