McCollum Statement on Three U.S. Soldiers Killed in Jordan

Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, released the following statement today after three U.S. soldiers were killed by drone strike in Jordan, echoing President Biden’s statement honoring their sacrifice:

“The loss of three U.S. service members last night in Jordan was a clear attack on the United States by Iranian-backed militia groups. My thoughts are with their families, fellow service members, and friends. This assault also wounded more than two dozen service members, and I wish them a full recovery. The United States must hold accountable those who carried out this heinous attack.”
