McCaul said it was a"smart" decision for Biden to attend the two summits prior to meeting with Putin. McCaul though criticized what he described as a lack of"repercussions" from Biden against Putin on cyberattacks, saying,"I think we need to demonstrate -- and the president needs to demonstrate to Putin -- there will be consequences to your actions if you continue to do this."

"I think sanctions are great, but I think it's time to start thinking about hitting back," he said."They need to know that when they do this, there are consequences to their actions and we're going to hit them back. Until we do that, they're going to continue with bad behavior."
