San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after President Obama announced 5,500 American troops will stay in Afghanistan after 2016:

“I appreciate the President informing the public this morning about his intentions to maintain a U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan after 2016.

“This is a very important day because we have broken through the wall of obstruction in the Congress, again to get the job done in a bipartisan way, which is what we all come here to do. The Ex-Im Bank is about small businesses, about businesses throughout our country, benefiting from our opportunity to reach markets overseas. Every big trading country has the equivalent of an Ex-Im Bank. For us to have ours not authorized and funded is to tie the hands of American business as we try to expand our exports and, again, increase jobs and paychecks in the United States.
