Rep. Michael McCaul told ABC's 'This Week' that the upcoming GOP-controlled House will continue to pass support for Ukraine but will do so with more 'accountability.” “We're not going to write a blank check.”
Earlier this month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene vowed that"We are going to provide more oversight, transparency and accountability. We're not going to write a blank check," McCaul said of Ukraine aid going forward.
McCaul criticized Democratic aid packages to Ukraine that he said sent some money while also back-filling U.S. weapons stockpiles. "Republicans are not going to rule like that," he said. "We're going to do this in an accountable way, with transparency to the American people. These are American taxpayer dollars going in. Does that diminish our will to help the Ukrainian people fight? No, but we're going to do it in a responsible way," he added.
"The issue, obviously, is we don't need to pass $40 billion, large Democrat bills that have been passed, to send $8 billion to Ukraine," Rep. Mike Turner said, who joined McCaul on the program.Both McCaul and Turner were adamant that U.S. support for Ukraine would continue in the Republican-controlled House."We're going to make certain they get what they need," Turner said.
Turner highlighted the need for the U.S. to work with partners to supply Ukraine with an "air defense system they can put together to defend Kyiv, to defend their infrastructure."
