Relevant Statements

  • “Stopping Russia before it draws NATO and therefore the U.S. into war is the right thing to do. But the burden cannot continue to be solely on the shoulders of the American people, especially while Western Europe gets a pass. There must be policy space between Biden’s current strategy of ‘as long as it takes’ and those demanding ‘not another dollar.'”

  • “I think it’s absolutely in America’s interest to stop Putin cold. … However, the era of blank checks for aid, at least coming from Congress, is over,”
