In Seoul I met with Chairman Tony Chey and leaders of the SK Group. SK invests in US clean energy manufacturing, including @Bloom_Energy and its fuel cell plant in Newark. I thanked them for their focus on US manufacturing and urged them to maintain & grow their investment in DE.

Excited to see new investments in clean energy for rural communities through the Empowering Rural America program – the largest investment in rural electrification since FDR signed the Rural Electrification Act into law in 1936.

As part of Allen Harim Foods in Sussex County, Harim Holdings is a key driver of our state's own poultry industry. I met with Harim's Chairman Kim in Seoul to thank him for their presence in Delaware and encourage further investment.

I’d like to thank @President_KR Yoon and First Lady Kim for hosting our delegation in Seoul for a wonderful dinner! The ROK is one of our strongest allies, and we explored how we can work even more closely together on security, trade, and global issues.

Congress must step up and lead on regulating AI and combatting the spread of deceptive deepfakes. I’m a proud cosponsor of the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act and urge my colleagues to swiftly pass this bill into law as we move into election season.

Meta’s shutdown of CrowdTangle, a tool used by journalists and researchers to monitor social media posts, makes it clear: Congress must act. My bipartisan proposal with @SenBillCassidy would ensure that major platforms are transparent about the effects they have on our lives.

It’s simple, thanks to @POTUS and @VP leadership, the price of groceries has fallen across the First State. I will continue to fight to lower costs for families across our country.

Congress needs to strengthen our patent system that has spurred economic innovation and growth for generations. @TheHillOpinion highlighted how my bipartisan RESTORE Act would do exactly that.

I'm proud of Delaware's reputation as one of the best states to start a tech company in the US. Our broadband infrastructure and strong pool of workers make us a leader in innovation—and we're only continuing to grow.

Former heads of the @USPTO agree: my bipartisan patent system reform legislation won't raise drug prices. I urge my colleagues to ignore false claims about the PREVAIL Act and advance this bill that would advance America’s global innovation leadership.

. @VP Harris continues to play an important role in protecting American values and interests overseas, such as ensuring a peaceful and democratic transition of power in Guatemala. She can be trusted to advance our priorities overseas because she's already doing just that.

Many current and former U.S. national security officials say it is hard to discern where Harris and her small national security team have made a mark—but Guatemala stands as an exception, FP’s @RobbieGramer writes.

. @USAmbJapan Emanuel has been a vital American presence who gave us key insights this week. I’d particularly like to thank him for hosting an evening of discussion with a range of Japanese leaders that has helped build relationships for officials on both sides of the Pacific.

Happy Labor Day! Today is a celebration of organized labor’s fight for workers’ rights and the resilience of the Americans who have strengthened the middle class. If you’re thankful for this three-day weekend, thank the labor movement—after all, they’re responsible for weekends!

This week, I’m on a bipartisan trip led by @SenatorHagerty to Japan and South Korea. It’s an opportunity to bolster ties with two of our strongest Asian partners and explore how we can grow our economic and security cooperation to make all 3 nations more secure and prosperous.
