Report: Biden delayed critical US missile test to appease Putin

U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Lead Republican of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement following reports that the Biden administration delayed a long-planned hypersonic missile test to appease Vladimir Putin.

“It is time for President Biden to prioritize U.S. military modernization over attempts to cozy-up to Putin and Xi. Russia and China have their foot on the gas when it comes to developing and deploying advanced nuclear-capable hypersonic systems, while this administration looks for any excuse to delay or cancel U.S. systems and tests. Reports that President Biden and his administration chose to delay a long-planned hypersonic missile test to appease the Kremlin is emblematic of the Biden doctrine, retreat, appease, and disarm in the face of aggression.”
