This week, as Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an acceleration of his war effort in Ukraine, Senator Romney warned another nation with malevolent ambitions, China, that its alignment with Russia could result in severe consequences from nations around the world. He also welcomed funding for Utah’s wildfire resilience, which he secured by helping negotiate the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and met with several Utahns visiting Washington. Scroll down for more news.

Senator Romney released the following statement on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats:

“Putin threatened nuclear warfare—a murderous, redefining, reorienting geopolitical act. The Biden Administration and our allies must make clear to China that a Russian nuclear attack would align them with a global pariah and result in severe economic consequences. The end of Soviet-era containment and the opening of trade propelled China’s economy and dramatically reduced poverty. If Russia uses nuclear weapons, peaceful and responsible nations would be forced to turn back the clock for those aligned with a nuclear terror state.”





As the West gets drier and wildfires become more destructive, it becomes more imperative that we improve our tools and strategies. By helping negotiate the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Senator Romney was able to ensure that funding to advance wildfire resilience in Utah was included in the final deal. Senator Romney welcomed an announcement by the Department of the Interior that it has invested more than $5.5 million in funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to advance wildfire resilience work and support fuels management projects in Utah on 24,490 acres of land across the state.
