Hagerty avoided making a comment on who&rsquo;s to blame for the war but was faced with another question about whether it is &ldquo;self-evident that you have to&nbsp;suck up to Putin&nbsp;in order to get him to the table.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t put it in terms of sucking up to Putin. What I would say is that the president is actually trying to shift the conversation. President Trump has not lifted any sanctions on Putin,&rdquo; Hagerty said. &ldquo;In fact, he&rsquo;s talking about getting back in the energy business, putting Keystone Pipeline back in. It was Joe Biden that killed the Keystone XL pipeline and okayed Nord Stream 2, which funded Russia&rsquo;s war effort.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 640px; max-height: 360px; min-width: 320px; min-height: 180px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-top: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share.php?id=2814756&amp;userid=11311&amp;loginid=10455&amp;playercolor=%23000000&amp;playersize=auto&amp;code=6d17ec62ca6fb5d3250115d2dc927094\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0px;\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/3329146\/trump-pushing-revival-keystone-xl-pipeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">began teasing the return <\/a>of the Keystone pipeline in a Truth Social post on Monday night.
