Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax that instead of making American taxpayers help fund Ukraine's war effort against Russia, Moscow should be forced to pay for Ukraine's needs while reimbursing the U.S. for much of the $113 billion it has provided to Kyiv.
Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax on Monday that instead of making American taxpayers help fund Ukraine's war effort against Russia, Moscow should be forced to pay for Ukraine's needs while reimbursing the U.S. for much of the $113 billion it has provided to Kyiv.
"We've frozen Russian assets both internationally and the United States," McCormick told "American Agenda." "About $100 billion here in the United States, over $330 billion-plus worldwide. I just got back from Copenhagen, and in Copenhagen we actually just pushed legislation forward that requires all U.N.
McCormick's bill is similar to legislation introduced by Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., in February. Bice, a fellow member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced the "Make Russia Pay Act," which would direct the Treasury Department to liquidate all Russian assets seized by the U.S. and deposit the funds into a Ukrainian Humanitarian Aid fund established by the bill.
