Summary

As tensions build with China, Russia, North Korea, and other countries, the Biden Administration has a lot on its plate. But dealing with multiple global hot sports is nothing new for a President. Former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley knows firsthand. He worked for President George W. Bush as that White House dealt with the War on Terror, as well as threats from North Korea, Russia, and others. Just after President Biden's surprise trip to Kyiv this week, Hadley joined the FOX News Rundown's Dave Anthony to discuss the President's European visit and the ongoing war in Ukraine. He also discussed some of the current global challenges America is facing as well as some of the conflicts he faced when working with President Bush. Hadley explained why he thought America's effort to provide Ukraine with military support and weapons has been too slow. He also said America is bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan for so long may have fueled some of America's current issues by giving our international foes the motivation to be bold and test us. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the discussion in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and you'll get even more analysis from a seasoned foreign policy expert on both the threats of today and those we faced years ago.
