Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wants Congress to steer clear of sending more assistance to Ukraine as lawmakers look ahead to the next government spending discussions come November 17.
The U.S. has sent more than an estimated $100 billion of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine since the war began, according to the White House. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
Republicans who are opposed to additional funding the war-torn nation scored a victory last weekend when then-House Speaker McCarthy passed a spending patch without the additional multi-billion dollar Ukraine assistance as requested by President Joe Biden, ultimately averting a government shutdown. The temporary funding patch expires Nov. 17, bringing Congress to another potential showdown in a few weeks.
