Ernst Statement on Protecting National Security

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) released the following statement:

“President Biden’s appeasement has invited chaos across the globe; Putin has shown no signs of stopping his march, Iran and its proxies have set fire to the Middle East, and Xi is emboldened in the Indo-Pacific.

“Any American weakness is a greenlight to Iranian terrorists and the CCP’s attempts to infiltrate our own homeland, which is why I was proud to equip our nation to push back against authoritarians and end their terror before another American life is lost.

“By deterring adversarial aggression, we can reverse Biden’s failed leadership on the world stage, as we unite around a new direction to fully counter this president’s crises at home and abroad.”
