Jeanne Shaheen: “I would also argue it is in our national security interests not to have a Vladimir Putin who feels free to go into any…”

There is not. And what the president continues to deny is that the only way to get Vladimir Putin to come to the table and seriously negotiate on Ukraine is for the United States and Europe to continue to put pressure on him.

Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine.

This is not only the right thing to do, but it’s an opportunity for us to provide some relief for so many families who are really struggling with high costs.

I’m proud to join this bipartisan effort that will cut administrative red tape, save money and make it easier for the Coast Guard to effectively collaborate with the coastal communities it protects.
