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.

The fact is, again, the president is looking for a scapegoat because he's in trouble with the American people because he's not done what he promised to do.

On this visit, Senator Durbin and I will meet with officials, young leaders and civil society representatives to discuss security, economic opportunity and their countries’ relationships with the United States.

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.
