                THE PRESIDENT'S FAILED FOREIGN POLICIES

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, in only 3 years, President Biden's failed 
foreign policies have caused chaos around the globe.
  In the Middle East, Biden failed to enforce congressionally enacted 
sanctions while opening up new lines of cash for Iran to fund terror. 
Now, Israel is under attack from Iran-backed terrorist proxies.
  In Europe, Biden lifted sanctions on Putin's Nord Stream 2 pipeline, 
a move that he was warned was a calamitous foreign policy disaster, 
while simultaneously undermining American energy production, weakening 
our influence, and empowering malign producers of energy like Russia.
  In Afghanistan, Biden's chaotic troop withdrawal left Americans dead, 
the Afghan Government to collapse, and stranded tens of thousands of 
Afghan allies.
  In Asia, Biden continues to ignore a growing number of aggressive 
provocations from the Chinese Communist Party. He gave the CCP a pass 
on their COVID obstruction, let their spy balloon gather intelligence 
from sensitive military sites, promoted the use of the CCP's spyware 
app called TikTok, and was standing idly by as China reportedly set up 
a spy base in Cuba.
  In North America, cartels are exploiting Biden's open borders agenda 
to poison tens of thousands of Americans with deadly fentanyl, while 
experts warn of the ever-growing terror threat as 1.6 million got-aways 
have escaped into the country on Biden's watch.
  Mr. Speaker, his foreign policy agenda has been a failure on every 
front, and the entire world is less safe from it.
