2023 KY Governor's race: on Foreign Policy


Andy Beshear: Now is the time for patriotism, united against Russia

[On NATO]: "Today, we're waking up to the news that Russia has engaged in a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said. "We will feel some of this in Kentucky...we will be called upon to endure things like higher gas prices. It's a small price to pay to stop this act of aggression, although I understand, we will all feel it. It's time for America to be united, every single one of us, against this external threat. We're tough enough...now is the time for patriotism," he said.

Daniel Cameron: Apply pressure on China to stop fentanyl related exports

Cameron told [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken additional steps must be taken. That includes labeling Mexican drug cartels as "terrorist organizations," applying more pressure on China to stop exporting fentanyl precursors and encouraging the country to put those chemicals on its list of controlled substances. "This coordinated effort by China and Mexican cartels demands a strong, consistent response from the State Department," Cameron wrote.
