Sen. Josh Hawley accused President Joe Biden of \u201chaphazard, feckless foreign policy\u201d Thursday, insisting that \u201cwe do not need American soldiers fighting in Europe.\u201d\xa0\nThe Missouri Republican discussed Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine during a Thursday interview with The Daily Signal's Mary Margaret Olohan at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, where he repeatedly emphasized that Biden\u2019s \u201cweakness\u201d has led to the escalating situation in Ukraine.\xa0\n\u201cWe need to be really clear that what the Russians are doing is absolutely wrong, that it is a violation of Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty, and now we need a policy,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cJoe Biden hasn\u2019t had any policy.\u201d\n\u201cWe should shut down Russia\u2019s energy production and open ours,\u201d he added. \u201cWe are the greatest energy-producing nation in the world. Joe Biden has shut down our energy production, that\u2019s sent a message of weakness, it\u2019s sent a message of dependence, that made us more dependent on foreign adversaries.\u201d\n Hosted on Acast.
