Conservatives lawmakers and activists responded to President Biden’s joint press conference with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Wednesday by saying the United States should stop sending money to the war-torn country.
During the press conference, Biden reaffirmed the U.S.’s commitment to provide aid to Ukraine in its efforts to maintain its national sovereignty. However, some conservatives argued that the United States has already provided enough aid to the country and that America’s limited resources would be better used to help citizens at home.
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., a conservative Republican who is challenging Rep. Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker, tweeted “No more blank checks to Ukraine” in the lead up to the press conference.
“Zelensky says $45 billion in aid from the U.S. is not enough. Not enough? What is enough? Enough with all of this,” Biggs continued.
