                     BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FAILURES

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, President Zelensky of Ukraine is a rock-ribbed 
leader who will fight and deliver for his country, and Americans are 
standing with the Ukrainians, who are fighting so bravely for their 
country.
  It is damning that Americans can't say the same for the person who is 
supposed to be the leader of the free world as we can for President 
Zelensky.
  Our leader kneecapped American energy production by eliminating the 
Keystone XL pipeline and empowered Putin by waiving sanctions on the 
Nord Stream 2 pipeline in Europe. Due to that abysmal decision, the 
U.S. is now explicitly not targeting Russia's energy sector with 
sanctions. It is as if he wanted America to be dependent on Putin and 
autocrats in Russia indefinitely.
  We could have done more to stop what has happened in Ukraine. 
Americans support the Ukrainians and want to see a change in our energy 
policy. What is happening now is damaging our country and our standing 
in the free world.
