               PRESIDENT BIDEN'S FOREIGN POLICY BLUNDERS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, once again, the President of the United 
States made a terrible foreign policy blunder when he embarrassingly 
said that Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power.
  Almost immediately, the White House communications team did 
everything they could to save face and walk back the President's 
remarks. Thankfully, the Secretary of State issued a statement 
clarifying the President's comments, saying that the U.S. has no 
strategy of regime change in Russia.
  Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, as Moscow was quick to 
seize on the President's gaffe to embolden Putin's undeniably false 
message that Russia is the one under attack.
  Mistakes like these directly undermine Ukrainian efforts to protect 
their sovereignty and stall momentum for peace. President Biden's 
actions have been misguided from the onset of this war. He has failed 
to deter Russia, and he was late to give Ukraine the military 
assistance it so badly needed.
  The world expects clear and resolute leadership from the Oval Office. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is a chance of that anytime 
soon.
