Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) responded to President Joe Biden's address to the United Nations on Tuesday, claiming the Biden administration has made the country less safe and vowing to stand by the United States's allies should he become president.
Scott, who is running for the Republican nomination for president, cited the withdrawal from Afghanistan, a recent hostage exchange with Iran, and Biden's relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping as examples of making the country less safe and making U.S. enemies stronger."Since Joe Biden took office he has made our country and the world less safe.
The statement comes after Biden addressed the U.N. in New York City. Biden, speaking before the 78th U.N. General Assembly, urged the gathered nations to continue working together to counter Russia's naked aggression in Ukraine and combat the"existential threat" of climate change. “The United States seeks a more secure, more prosperous, more equitable world for all people because we know our future is bound up with yours," he stated."Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence. But I ask you this: If we abandon the core principles of the U.N.
"That is why the United States, together with our allies and partners around the world, will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom," the president continued.Biden's words come as he struggles to secure more funding for Ukraine through Congress.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy desires to pull Ukraine aid out of a government funding bill and advance it as stand-alone legislation, but Senate leaders are seeking to address the request in an omnibus bill ahead of the looming government shutdown deadline.
