Theres no longer a bright line between foreign and domestic policy. Every action we take in our conduct abroad, we must take with american Working Families in mind. Advancing a Foreign Policy for the middle class demands urgent focus on our domestic economic renewal. And thats why i immediately put forth the American Rescue plan to pull us out of this economic crisis. Thats why i signed an Executive Order strengthening our buy american policies last week.

i agree with you. this is on the doorstep of europepe, and if russia succees in invading ukraine, it s probably going to takeur offensive measures against other countries in eastern europe, includinger possibly countries that are members of nato. they re even closer to westernoe europe. ab so they have a lot to worry about and they have a lot at stake and that should be along with they re not supporting ukraine. so you think it s a good sign that they re not inviting biden to theseo normandy side talks and the biden team is notam even going to be participating?ng this blinken is talking to lavrov tomorrow. that s that s not that s not what s happening. that s that s not unless what s happening. they re talking tomorrow. they are having talks without the united states having talksks to secretary blinkens in constant talks with his russian counterparts as well. so these talks are happening separately and some of the talks are happening together. mu there arelt bilateral talks and there
as they take more offensive measures right now as you know. we are doing everything we can with our allies, our nato allie to provide equipment into mandatory and ate them course military assistance to give the what they need to fight back. the bravery and the stamina of the ukrainians is just remarkable i think emotionally moving it will bring us altogether. i think we need to just keep giving the ukrainians what they need to help fight back. that said, at the same time, we need to make sure and i believe in looking at other issues like the impending iran deal, i m deeply concerned about where that s going. the answer and all these things did not turn to other bad actor like he ran like venezuela for oil and gas. we need to be careful there as well. appreciate you having you on. good to see who. a new hour now, desperate
