Summary

The NATO-Russia talks aimed at resolving the escalating situation on the Ukrainian border reached a dead end earlier this week, with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan saying, "We believe the threat of invasion is real." After a week of diplomacy between the West and Russia coming up with no resolution, what should the U.S. and the Biden Administration do next? Ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) joined host Jessica Rosenthal this week to discuss how to navigate the situation with Russia. Rep. McCaul discussed our options and what actions would be effective and which ones would not. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with Rep. McCaul and hear more of his analysis of our tensions with Russia. Plus, he discusses recent threats from North Korea and his own recent bout with COVID. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
