Press Releases

Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) released the following statement as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping met in Moscow.

"I am deeply concerned about Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow today," said Congressman Lawler. "The fact that Xi would give Vladimir Putin the international diplomatic recognition he so desperately craves indicates how bad of an actor China is on the global stage." 

"Xi and Putin are a pernicious pair who are busy plotting dominance of Eurasia," concluded Congressman Lawler. "The United States and our allies must continue to apply diplomatic pressure to ensure that the entire Eurasian region does not fall under their control and influence."
