While Trump and DeSantis doubt Ukraine's defense is a vital U.S. interest, key Texas...
Without directly criticizing the two front-runners seeking the presidential nomination, key members of Congress in Texas are pushing back, asserting that Ukraine’s future is very much critical to U.S. interests. Among them is U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Houston Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, who said people clamoring for cutting U.S.
“Why wouldn’t you just write a check? Give it to the Ukrainians to tell them to fight it just to prevent that scenario,” Crenshaw said.U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, wassaying U.S. support of Ukraine is vital not just as a response to Russian aggression, but also in sending a clear message to China when it comes to Taiwan and the rest of the South Pacific.
McCaul’s comments came as Trump was in Waco on Saturday for a rally where several speakers blasted the U.S. spending in Ukraine. Among them was U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, who said the U.S. should be working on its own border with Mexico and"not funding a war in Ukraine defending their border.”
