Congressman and candidate for the U.S. Senate Ted Budd (R-N.C.) said it’s too late for the most severe sanction to be used to mitigate the Ukraine crisis because the U.S. and Europe are too dependent on Russian energy.

“Well, we’re looking at, you know, heavy sanctions right now, the problem is it’s a little bit too little too late,” Budd told host of NTD Capitol Report, Steve Lance in a Feb. 26 interview.
