Rep. Chip Roy, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 21st District since 2019, expressed his views on various international issues through a series of tweets. Born in Bethesda, Maryland, and currently residing in Austin, Roy has been vocal about foreign policy and national security concerns.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Chip Roy called for increased scrutiny on visa requests and travel from Chile to the United States. He argued that "with the gangs so easily flying in and out of the country," there is a need to reassess Chile's access to the U.S., which had previously been relatively unrestricted. The statement was made here.

In another tweet posted on February 20, 2025, Rep. Chip Roy questioned the efficacy of the United Nations. He criticized it as a "corrupt globalist organization" that has failed over decades to prevent wars, genocides, human rights violations, and pandemics despite significant financial investment and attention. He advocated for defunding the organization alongside colleagues @BasedMikeLee and @RepMikeRogersAL as seen here.
