Sen. Romney comments on the Presidentâs State of the Union Address
U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) made the following comments after President Bidenâs State of the Union address.
Russiaâs unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine is at the forefront of our minds. The world is witnessing the strength and resolve of the people of Ukraine. The President has successfully brought together our friends and allies to coordinate a unified and powerful response to Putinâs actions. That being said, I had hoped to hear the President address the investment needs of our military and ways to strengthen our national defense. With the nefarious actions of Russia and Putin, and the rising threat of China, itâs critical that the U.S. remain the worldâs top military. And thatâs not going to happen if we donât continue to invest in our military. And speaking of China: Yes, Russia is the problem of today. But we must not forget that China is operating in the background and remains the problem of tomorrow. The President only mentioned China twice in his speech tonight. We must not fail to acknowledge that China is on a quest to become the worldâs economic, military, and geopolitical superpower. Nearly every strategic decision we make must be looked at with the lens of our competition with China. (Read/Watch More)

Rep. Owens statement on President Bidenâs State of the Union Address
Today, Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04) released the following statement after attending President Bidenâs State of the Union address.
âAs innocent men, women, and children fight for their lives in the streets of Ukraine, President Biden tonight claimed that âwe were ready.â Americans know the truth: This Administration unleashed a failed foreign policy strategy that only enabled the evil that is Vladimir Putin. I urge President Biden to impose tighter sanctions on Russia, supply more aid to Ukraine, and unlock the full power of American energy independence.
âOnce again, President Bidenâs agenda fails to meet the ongoing threats to the safety, security, and prosperity of Utahns in the Fourth District, Americans across the nation, and our allies around the world.â (Read More)
