Jack Posobiec hosted Riverton, Utah Mayor Trent Staggs on Thursday's episode of Human Events Daily. Posobiec asked Staggs, who is running for Utah Senate, if he supports Antony Blinken stating that a 10-year military security agreement between the United States and Ukraine would be signed at the G7. The host pointed out that this is something that could even potentially turn into a military treaty.

"No, absolutely not," Staggs replied, adding that the last time he checked, the Constitution states that "any treaties, any budgetary expenditures, do need to go through Congress."



He called Blinken's announcement "not at all constitutional," adding "It's just trying to be executed by the executive branch."

"Look, we've been promised by Neocons for decades and decades now that by spending more money and having more operational bases in alliances like this are going to bring peace and prosperity to the world," he continued. "We've got all kinds of war that we're continuing with now. We're on the verge of bankruptcy. So really all of the stated promises and benefits are not there, and I have made it no secret throughout the course of my campaign that I am not going to support endless war. That's why the establishment has come after me in this race, because they know I'm another no-vote with respect to their endless deficits and their endless war."

Posobiec also brought up that Biden approved allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to strike Russian targets. "Doesn't this potentially have an escalation factor that it seems that nobody in the President's administration is talking about?" he asked.

"Yes, it does, and we need to be very, very careful of this," Staggs responded. "You know, this is why I support President Trump. We need him back in office. If President Trump were in office today, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
