Americans have questions for Biden on Russia

Rapid Response

It’s absurd that Vladimir Putin, a Russian autocrat, has done more interviews with American media organizations in the last month than Joe Biden, the President of the United States.

Picture of Biden doing an interview with an American media organization in the last month: … Oh wait, there isn’t one.

It’s been 33 days and no Biden interviews. There’s no shortage of questions. On Russia alone:

  • Why did Biden unilaterally lift sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, handing Putin a major strategic win while getting NOTHING in return for the United States?
  • Did his administration encourage Colonial Pipeline to pay ransom to Russian cyber criminals?
  • What is the Biden administration doing to counter the growing number of cyberattacks – many by Russian hackers – happening on his watch?
  • Does he concede that his anti-American energy agenda advantages Russian oil and gas companies?

Instead of defending his many failed policies that have already hurt U.S. national security, Biden embarrassed himself and the country in a hurried press conference with questions from pre-approved reporters.

Biden’s foreign policy has been misstep after misstep, and the American people deserve a real explanation from Biden.
