Relevant Statements

“I was in Eastern Europe and at the Poland-Ukraine border less than a month ago. We saw firsthand the need to provide military and humanitarian aid to Ukrainians – and yes, these funds will help. The Ukrainian people and military deserve our help, but, we cannot continue to shell out billions in American taxpayer dollars for people in foreign countries without helping our own citizens in need in Louisiana.”
-
“The fiscally responsible thing to do here is to stop this in Ukraine. This crosses over into NATO countries and you trigger article five, you aren’t going to be talking about tens of billions of dollars, you are going to be talking about trillions of dollars and you are going to be talking about American servicemen and women on the front lines. That is not an option. This administration has both accountability and transparency issues they’ve got to address before they deserve another penny.”
-
“I think that Ukraine—and Israel as well—these are really, really important global issues. … If you start playing out the scenatios of an uncontrolled Vladimir Putin in Europe, taking over Urkaine, going into some of these other NATO countris… this actually causes huge, huge consequences for some of our strongest allies over in Europe.”
