Rep. Pat Fallon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district, has recently expressed his views on various international and domestic issues through a series of tweets. Fallon, who succeeded John Ratcliffe in 2021, is known for his firm stance on national security and foreign policy.

On January 28, 2025, Rep. Pat Fallon retweeted a statement by Sen. Ted Cruz regarding China's influence on the Panama Canal. He stated, "Well put by @SenTedCruz, the US should not tolerate CCP influence on the Panama Canal." Fallon emphasized that "Communist China is committed to undermining our national security," warning against further Chinese gains in Central America.

Later that day, he addressed Iranian influence in the Middle East. In his tweet posted at 22:01 UTC, he criticized current U.S. foreign policy under President Biden by saying, "Iranian influence has done nothing but sow chaos and instability [in] the Middle East." He attributed this situation to what he described as "the past 4yrs of failed Biden foreign policy." He contrasted this with former President Trump's approach to Iran.

On January 29, 2025, Rep. Fallon commented on federal officials' responsibilities towards American citizens rather than foreign interests or personal agendas. At 14:02 UTC, he tweeted that "Federal officials serve the American people, not their own agendas or those of foreign nations." He supported President Trump's efforts to align the executive branch with an "America First agenda."
