Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made a surprise visit to Ukraine to meet with government leaders to discuss the county’s economic recovery, the Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.

Buttigieg will discuss efforts to “return Ukraine to economic self-sufficiency,” including supporting investments in transportation infrastructure that will “return to private-sector led growth,” the department said.

He has no business being there and “negotiating” what is the House’s Business..

With Biden being a poor candidate, there are still many who want a President Buttigieg (!), and it is possible that trips as this are designed to make him look Presidential.

He went for the piano recital.

LOL. He wants to bring it to Broadway

[Bob434]

He’s over there to lecture them about their racist street signs no doubt

[Reno89519]

Maybe he can please stay?

Why is the United States Secretary of Transportation visiting a foreign war zone?

I assume it’s because it’s the ‘hip’ thing for Lefties to do.

Or maybe he just has a crush on Z.

We live in a f***ing clown world.

[Verginius Rufus]

Haven’t the Ukrainians suffered enough? Why was a visit from Buttigieg inflicted on them?

[DownInFlames]

You really think we have a constitutional government? Obama tossed that overboard with his pen and phone comment.

[KittyKares]

They would be smart NOT to listen to him. Maybe if he brought them a big taxpayer check.

[telescope115]

Right! I thought he was the Secretary of Transportation-oh, I get it- maybe he’s transporting money BACK to D.C.?

[telescope115]

He CAN’T go to Gaza, they’d throw him off a building…

Biden’s Transport Secy Buttigieg met with Ukranian government
leaders to discuss the county’s economic recovery. He will discuss:
<><>efforts to “return Ukraine to economic self-sufficiency,”
<><>investments in transportation infrastructure to “return to private-sector led growth.”

This is a joke......$1 a week Buttgeig couldnt get planes to land on time
here, so now he’s an “expert” for the money-grubbing Ukrainians.

Wonder how much this is going to cost taxpayers.

[dforest]

He went for a lap dance from Zelensky.

[Vaduz]

Bookie took my bet that Buttigieg is going to be Newsom’s VP choice.

Just when you thing the democrats can’t F/U any more wait 20 minutes.

[hanamizu]

And this addresses transportation in the U.S. how?

Except for bridges that connect the U.S. with Canada and Mexico, (aside from Biden’s trans-Indian Ocean railroad) I can think of no reason for a U.S. Sec’y of Transportation to have business with foreign nations. What possible American transport issues are there in Ukraine?

[Allegra]

Picking up a check?

Or untraceable cash.

They’ve taken turns going over there. I guess it’s Buttplug’s turn now.

[Bonemaker]

He must have heard there is a fantastic leather bar in Kiev.

[Flaming Conservative]

OUR Transportation Secretary is helping UKRAINE??? WTH! THAT’S not his job! How about helping US? LORD have mercy on us!

Airlines, and none of them are flying to Ukraine now. Trade and shipping should be handled by the Commerce Dept.

[Jim Noble]

That is so perfect!

The forward elements of GAE can use the support after the loss of Afghanistan.

Mayor Pete fears the House will follow through with $1 salary. LOL
