After a series of meetings and media appearances in New York, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is heading to Washington to rally support for more military and humanitarian aid for his country.
His visit comes as House Republicans have refused to pass $25 billion in supplemental spending that President Joe Biden requested for Ukraine.
This proposed stopgap bill cuts spending for non-defense sectors and requests a list of measures to tackle border security. But it does not include the $25 billion for Ukraine.The White House and the Democrat-controlled Senate have said they will not approve the proposed stopgap bill without revisions."It's a good thing I love a challenge," McCarthy said on Monday, per ABC News. "Every day will be a challenge. We've got a long week. We are not at Sept.
"People are completely against spending more money on Ukraine, with all of our existing problems here at home," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who also scored an F, told the Washington Examiner. "And so my role will be being a very loud voice, urging my colleagues in Congress to vote no. And making sure that everyone knows which Republicans want to send their hard-earned tax dollars over to Ukraine, which Democrats want.
"For just 5% of our annual defense budget, America has helped Ukraine destroy half of Russia's army and liberate its territory and people. That's a great return on investment for American national security." McCarthy has no plans to sit with Zelenskyy while he is visiting Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, the upper chamber displays a united front, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., get ready to host the Ukrainian president on Thursday morning.
