White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is warning that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is 'far from over,' despite the claim by Moscow that they are retreating from Kyiv and surrounding areas.
George Stephanopoulos interviews White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain on"This Week."White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is warning that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is"far from over," despite the claim by Moscow that they are retreating from Kyiv and surrounding areas.
"I will tell you, as President Zelenskyy has said, that's not acceptable to him, and we are going to support him with military aid, with economic aid, with humanitarian aid," Klain said."The political future of Ukraine is up for Ukraine to decide.""The Ukrainians are winning the war around Kyiv and in the northern part of the country.
"The Republicans have an agenda too. Sen. [Rick] Scott says their agenda is to raise taxes on millions of Americans, to get rid of social security and to do other things that are going to devastate middle class people," Klain said."So I think when people compare our agenda to the Republican agenda, that's gonna be a clear choice for folks."
Austan Goolsbee, Klain’s former colleague in the Obama administration, said the country may be moving toward the idea that the COVID-19 era of the U.S. economy is over with -- a sentiment Klain said he “cautiously” agrees with. "How worried are you about a possible surge at the border?" Stephanopoulos asked Klain."Is there anything the president can do about it?"
