Defeating Russian, Chinese and Iranian aggression requires ending the economic support given to them through sanctions loopholes, subsidies, investments and other aid.

Robert C. O’Brien was the 27th U.S. national security adviser from 2019-2021. 

There is a growing and understandable belief in Congress that America cannot care more about European security than the Europeans do. Our allies in Europe must step up and fulfill their commitments to NATO and Ukraine.  

Lawmakers in Washington are also right to scrutinize where hard-earned American taxpayer dollars are spent and to ensure that the burden of assisting Ukraine is shared by our allies.
