As Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, the only Ukrainian-born member of Congress defended President Donald Trump's approach to dealing with Vladimir Putin, suggesting he can afford to be patient but will act decisively if needed.
In an interview with CNN, Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN), dismissed concerns that Trump isn't being tough enough on Russia, arguing that his past actions have spoken louder than words. "His actions were actually quite strong," she said, adding that Trump's economic policies, particularly on domestic energy, could be used to "suffocate" Russia's war efforts.
