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.
