I’m at a loss to understand how our president found the time to visit a faraway nation on, of all days, Presidents Day — but he has yet to visit the victims of America’s Chernobyl-style derailment catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio (“Biden makes surprise visit to Ukraine in major show of support,” Web, Feb. 20). President Biden didn’t even send Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, his lackey, in his stead.

I am sorry for what is happening in Ukraine, but priorities are necessary as our nation is struggling. The Ukrainian people did not elect Mr. Biden; Americans did. As such, it is this president’s duty to serve Americans in their time of need. Mr. Biden should be deeply ashamed.
