President Biden's sluggish policies have consistently prevented Ukraine's victory, given Putin room to breathe, and dragged out this conflict.

We must get serious, and that is why I am holding today's hearing.

The sanctions against the Putin regime have not convinced him to end this gruesome war.

I am in the process of drafting a tough sanctions bill that will mandate the Administration to decouple the U.S. and our allies from Rosatom.

This piece of legislation is a testament to our commitment to ensuring that the backbone of our maritime infrastructure is not compromised.

Nearly 80 percent of the ship-to-shore cranes in our ports in the United States come from CPMC.

I have witnessed first-hand the destructive power of communist regimes and have no interest in allowing the CCP to conduct industrial and economic espionage in our ports through their cranes.

We cannot stand idly by while components of American maritime infrastructure could be weaponized against us.

They have no choice but to prepare to defend themselves, and we have made a commitment to help them defend themselves if the Talibs go the route of a military solution.

We saw that on February 24th, 2022, when War Criminal Putin invaded Ukraine.

Our military is not meant for nation-building. It is meant to go and break things and impose our national will.

the Biden Administration unconditionally handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban terrorist organization with its refusal to enforce the DOHA agreement.
