WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today criticized U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the Biden administration’s foreign policy decisions during a hearing. The critique focused on President Biden's actions, including expressing condolences to Iran for the death of President Raisi and delaying a shipment of military aid to Israel.

During the hearing, Sen. Cruz stated, "Mr. Secretary, you have presided over the worst foreign policy disaster of modern times. When Joe Biden became president, he inherited peace and prosperity in the world. We now have two simultaneous wars waging: the worst war in Europe since World War II and the worst war in the Middle East in 50 years. Both, I believe, were caused by this administration's consistent weakness."

Cruz further added, "And indeed, your foreign policy is precisely backwards from what a rational American foreign policy should be. To our friends and allies, this administration has consistently undermined, weakened, and attacked them. And to our enemies, this administration has shown constant appeasement and indeed has flowed billions of dollars to the enemies of America who want to kill us.”
