US Lawmakers Traveling to Europe to Talk Russia, China
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is traveling to Europe this week to discuss security issues, including topics surrounding Russia and China. The group, led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and ranking member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., will travel to Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands to discuss the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the “imperative of confronting shared threats from the Chinese Communist Party,” according to an Aug. 31 news release issued by McCaul. “Together, we can harness the transatlantic alliance to safeguard our shared interests and ensure unprovoked aggression does not go unanswered anywhere in the world,” he said.
