Pence defended his stance during an interview \u2064with conservative\u2064 radio host Hugh Hewitt,\u2062 stating that the US\u200c has the capacity to address its own issues while extending\u200c aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I just don&#8217;t think we have to choose between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/north-dakota-house-passes-bill-banning-transgender-athletes-from-high-school-sports-teams\/\" title=\"North Dakota House Passes Bill Banning Transgender Athletes From High School Sports Teams\">solving problems<\/a> here at home, which is\u2062 that, you know, an economy that&#8217;s failing, the border crisis, the crisis in energy, the crime wave in our cities,&#8221; Pence said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t \u2062think we have to choose between solving problems here at home and being the leader of the free world. And anybody who says we can&#8217;t has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pence-says-us-does-not-need-to-choose-between-fixing-countrys-problems-and-supporting-ukraine\/\" title=\"Pence: US can address domestic issues and aid Ukraine simultaneously.\">pretty small \u2064view<\/a> of the greatest nation on Earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pence&#8217;s remarks \u2064come in response\u2063 to \u2062a recent exchange with former Fox News \u2063host Tucker Carlson, where Carlson\u2062 questioned Pence&#8217;s focus on Ukraine rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carlson-if-youre-not-terrified-about-a-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-media-say-youre-on-putins-side\/\" title=\"Carlson: If You're Not 'Terrified' About a Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Media Say You're on 'Putin's Side'\">domestic concerns<\/a>. In Iowa,\u200d Carlson asked, &#8220;I know you&#8217;re running for president. You are distressed that \u200cthe Ukrainians don&#8217;t have enough American tanks? Every city in the\u2063 United States \u200bhas become much worse over the past few years. Yet, your concern is the Ukrainians&#8230;\u2062 I think \u2064it&#8217;s a fair question to ask, where&#8217;s the concern for \u200cthe\u2064 United States?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pence assured \u2063Carlson\u2062 that he is indeed concerned about the United States,\u2064 acknowledging that the country \u200cis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-navy-says-fight-with-china-is-likely-in-the-2020s\/\" title=\"U.S. Navy Says Fight With China Is Likely in the 2020s\">facing significant challenges<\/a>. The issue of providing \u2064military aid to Ukraine has divided GOP presidential candidates, with some supporting aid but not \u2063sending US troops. Former President Donald \u2063Trump opposed Ukraine\u200b joining NATO, while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy opposes providing any assistance to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;There are too\u2063 many voices in our \u2062party that are sounding the \u200cretreat, that are willing to\u2063 let Putin \u200dkeep the land grab that \u2062he&#8217;s made\u2063 in eastern Ukraine, willing to make promises,&#8221;<\/strong> Pence \u200btold Hewitt. <strong>&#8220;In my opinion, the only thing Putin will understand is\u2063 strength, and providing those courageous fighters in Ukraine what they need to repel the Russian\u200b invasion is the fastest way to \u2064security and preventing the day \u2064that American forces\u200d are actually required to go into battle in Europe again.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pence stands out as\u200b the sole Republican presidential\u2062 candidate to have visited Ukraine during the war. He has made two visits, the first occurring\u200d a few months after the invasion began and the\u2062 second taking place last month.<\/p>\n<h3>Source:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/mike-pence-us-ukraine-domestic-issues\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former VP Mike Pence stated that the US need not pick between addressing domestic issues and aiding Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
