Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) released the following statement:
An unimaginable amount of fentanyl is pouring over our southern border, causing every town in the United States to feel the devastating effects of Democrats’ weak border policies. This deadly drug is coming predominantly from China and is being smuggled into the United States through Mexico. Now, we are in the midst of a crisis that has led to the highest number of drug overdoses in the history of the opioid epidemic.
Washington, D.C. – The ongoing situation in Ukraine is rapidly evolving and deeply concerning. The geopolitical consequences in the region will negatively affect the everyday lives of Americans. This crisis caused the price of crude to rise to almost $100 a barrel, which will lead to higher prices at the pumps. Without swift retaliatory actions, this crisis will further embolden Russia and put key NATO allies at risk.
The fate of one of our allies is at the discretion of Vladimir Putin. There are at least 130,000 Russian troops stationed on Ukraine’s border and the waters off the country’s shore have been blocked, leading to potential economic harm for Ukraine. The threat of an invasion is imminent. The trajectory of Putin’s geopolitical goals is clear, and what we’ve seen from President Biden is a lack of seriousness and urgency around this dire situation.
