We must ensure our allies align their export controls with American standards — through diplomacy if possible, but unilaterally if necessary.

Verified via web search. The quote attributed to Senator Pete Ricketts ("We must ensure our allies align their export controls with American standards — through diplomacy if possible, but unilaterally if necessary") relates to his introduction of the Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act with Senators Risch and Kim. The source URL (foreign.senate.gov) returned 403 to WebFetch but is independently confirmed by ricketts.senate.gov, kim.senate.gov, Senate Democratic Leadership, and Manufacturing Dive coverage. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: The MATCH Act is explicitly designed to coordinate export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment with allies — a direct match for the statement "Democracies should coordinate export controls on AI chips to China." "For" vote is appropriate.
