Mark Warner: The U.S. Sanctions Regime Has Not Been as Tight as We Like to See

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "Well, if we look back again, I think we would all acknowledge that the sanctions regime has not been as tight as we'd like to see it. China being the worst offender with direct military support. India, a country I'm very supportive of, but India in terms of purchasing Russian oil and giving that hard currency to Russia, for them to go out into the marketplace and acquire arms, it's one of the reasons why I think this package, which the House just passed, we will take up this week, that says we have to be ready to be prepared for our national security interests, not only in Ukraine and Russia, also in terms of military assistance to Israel, but with additional humanitarian aid for the Palestinians who are in such great challenges. And there's about 8 or $9 billion for the Indo-Pacific region because of the concern that we have about China's aggressiveness towards Taiwan.“
