Recent discussions among U.S. politicians highlight a growing concern over the Biden administration's financial support to Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. Senator Tuberville and Representative Brian Mast criticized the administration for its spending, claiming the U.S. is borrowing $80,000 per second and has mistakenly sent $113 TRILLION to Ukraine without a clear strategic objective, a figure later corrected to $113 billion. Meanwhile, Representative Westerman pointed out the contrast between the funding for Ukraine and the need to secure the U.S. southern border. The CFR_org noted that during the first year of the war in Ukraine, the Biden administration and U.S. Congress directed more than $75 billion in assistance, covering humanitarian, financial, and military support. This issue was a focal point during the State of the Union address in 2024 (SOTU2024).
President Biden began his speech by urging Congress to pass more funding for Ukraine. Meanwhile, our own country is being invaded at the southern border.
After sending out $113 BILLION to Ukraine, Joe Biden STILL doesn’t have a strategic objective to help the country win its war against Russia. This spending spree must stop. #SOTU2024

Right now, we are borrowing $80,000 PER SECOND, and @JoeBiden wants to send even more money to Ukraine. How about securing OUR borders?
