Priorities.
President Biden is leaving the G7 summit a day early because he has a celebrity-filled fundraiser to attend in California. He is skipping out on a Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to represent the United States in Switzerland. My first response was heaven help us. Who knows what kind of nonsense she will say or agree to?
It’s not a lot different than having Biden there, I suppose. The optics are bad, though. Biden is the president, at least for now. Biden’s big claim to success was agreeing with other G7 members to give Ukraine billions of dollars in support of their war efforts against Putin.
So, it’s strange that Biden makes the big announcement of saddling America with a 10-year commitment to Ukraine, along with our G7 allies, and then skipping the peace summit. But, again, maybe not. Does Biden really contribute anything…
