Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized President Biden for his "blank-check policy" on Ukraine. Biden recently traveled to Kyiv for an unannounced visit, and DeSantis spoke out against the newly allocated half-billion dollars in Ukrainian aid without clearly defined goals. DeSantis joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the issue and why it is unacceptable.

Biden Announces Additional US Aid

During his visit to Kyiv, Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and announced additional US aid, including shells for howitzers, anti-tank missiles, and air surveillance radars. The aid comes after billions of American tax dollars have already funded Ukrainian efforts, but the list needs to include F-16s or new advanced weaponry.

DeSantis Criticizes Biden's Handling of Issues

DeSantis argued that the war may never have happened. Biden handled transnational issues differently, such as the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the drug crisis fueled by an open southern border. He said Biden has neglected problems in the US and is more concerned about borders halfway around the world.

DeSantis Discusses Threat from Russia and China

Despite fears of a proxy war between the US and China, DeSantis noted that the real threat to America does not come from Russia. He said Russia has suffered tremendous losses and is not on the same level as a threat as China.
