Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday said that President Biden is neglecting domestic problems by making an international trip this week that included a surprise trip to Kyiv to show support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
“We have a lot of problems accumulating here in our own country that he is neglecting,” DeSantis said in an appearance on Fox News after news of Biden’s surprise trip to visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Biden made the visit to the war-torn capital of Kyiv just days before the country’s war with Russia reaches its first anniversary.
The president said the trip was meant to showcase the strength of Ukraine and the solidarity of the U.S., while also announcing an additional $500 million in American support to Ukraine.
But Republicans back home quickly seized on the international trip to argue that Biden is ignoring domestic priorities, including immigration and national security.
