Dem Rep. Meeks Says He’s Changing His Travel Schedule to Meet with Allies Because Trump Will Give Shared Intel to Adversaries
EXCERPT:
MEEKS: “I'm changing some of my April travels so I can go to see our allies and let them know that there are some of us that will still stand up for them. And I would hope some of my Republican colleagues do that. What we're doing and what this president has been doing, he's treating our allies as if they're our adversaries and our adversaries as if they are our allies. You've not heard him say one negative word about Vladimir Putin, not one, who was the aggressor in the fight against Ukraine. Yet, this president seems to be going against whether they are NATO allies, whether they're on our borders, but whether they're in the Indo-Pacific, he is going after all of them, changing what the world order is. And we are losing our allies in the sense that what we've shared with them are values. Our values are not like Russia or North Korea or Iran. Our values are like our NATO allies, and Canada and -- and -- and in the Indo-Pacific. Not China, but Japan and South Korea and the Philippines and Singapore. Those are our allies that we need to be working together. And I've got to tell you, ambassador after ambassador has been coming to my office, scratching their head, not knowing what their relationship is and whether or not they can rely on the United States of America with their national security interests. You know, generally it used to be the other way around, but now they're worried about what should they give to the United States or what should they share with the United States as far as security, because we may give it to an adversary."
