The Biden administration should take into consideration pressing issues facing Americans like rising inflation, Chinese aggression, and the ongoing border crisis when sending money to support Ukraine during its conflict with Russia, according to Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.).
Steube’s comments come after House lawmakers on Tuesday approved a new $40 billion aid package for Ukraine in an another show of support for the nation that has been fighting off an invasion for three months.
The package, $7 billion more than president Biden’s request in April, would provide the embattled country with further military and economic assistance while bringing the total American support to nearly $54 billion, including the $13.6 billion in support Congress enacted in March.
