Several members, including Committee Chair Bob Menendez (D-NJ), took issue with the Biden administration’s recent decision to waive sanctions against Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Senator Menendez went on to discuss U.S. relations with Russian President Putin: “As the president himself has said, he’s a murderer. He’s KGB and he only understands strength.
