2022 CT Senate race: on Foreign Policy


China_Book: China is watching what we do in Ukraine

Two senators urged the Biden administration to go further in its support for both Ukraine and Taiwan, as U.S. tensions with China bubble up after Rep. Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan. In an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) backed the House Speaker's travel to Taiwan and tied the two foreign policy issues together--warning that China is watching how the U.S. continues to respond to Russia's attack on Ukraine as the war nears its sixth month.

"China is watching what we do in Ukraine. That's why we need to send more of the HIMARS multiple long-range artillery so that Ukraine is successful during this next month during its counteroffensive," Blumenthal said. He also called for moves to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, more sanctions against the Kremlin and additional humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
