Washington, D.C. - House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) announced the Committee will convene a hearing on Tuesday, June 14 entitled “U.S. Policy Toward Putin’s Russia." The hearing will begin at 10 a.m.
Chairman Royce on the hearing: “The Obama administration’s policy toward Putin’s Russia is clearly failing. From invading Ukraine to bombing Syrian hospitals and schools, Putin has only become more belligerent, in part due to a lack of U.S. leadership and credibility. We must work with Russia from a position of strength. This hearing will look at ways to improve our U.S. policy in order to counter Russia’s aggression and secure American interests."
