Rep. Mark Green, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee's 7th district since 2019, has expressed his views on various international issues through recent social media posts. Green, who succeeded Marsha Blackburn in Congress and previously served in the Tennessee Senate, has been vocal about his stance on foreign policy and national security.

On January 23, 2025, Rep. Green commented on the decision by former President Trump to re-designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. He stated that "The Cuban regime has provided transnational criminal organizations and terrorist groups sanctuary and financial support for decades. President Trump’s decision to re-designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism is well-justified."

Later that day, he highlighted concerns regarding China's control over essential resources in global supply chains. He noted that "China now controls the production of many essential resources in our supply chains. For example, China dominates the supply of strategic minerals, such as rare earth metals and alloys that are key components in military vehicles, including submarines, fighter jets..."

In another post on January 23rd, Green addressed cybersecurity threats facing the United States. He remarked that "Cyberspace is increasingly becoming a digital battlefield. America’s adversaries use cyberspace to undermine our sovereignty and threaten the services and infrastructure that America depends on." This statement followed discussions from a hearing by HomelandGOP.
