Rep. Roy and Sen. Vance lead colleagues in opposing Biden's Ukraine funding request
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) and Senator JD Vance (R-OH) led dozens of their colleagues in sending a bicameral letter to the White House on Thursday opposing the Biden administration's current request for further U.S. funding for the war in Ukraine and demanding an honest accounting of the funds already appropriated.
The legislators' message to the White House reads, in part:
“The American people deserve to know what their money has gone to. How is the counteroffensive going? Are the Ukrainians any closer to victory than they were 6 months ago? What is our strategy, and what is the president’s exit plan? What does the administration define as victory in Ukraine? What assistance has the United States provided Ukraine under Title 10? It would be an absurd abdication of congressional responsibility to grant this request without knowing the answers to these questions. For these reasons—and certainly until we receive answers to the questions above and others forthcoming—we oppose the additional expenditure for war in Ukraine included in your request.”
