Greene, who said she has “never voted to send a single penny to Ukraine”, argued that she remains firmly opposed to any US involvement in foreign interventions. A March CBS/YouGov poll found that 68% of Republicans disapproved of continued military aid to Ukraine. Since 2022, many congressional Republicans have repeatedly tried to block or restrict Ukraine aid, starting with Kentucky senator Rand Paul’s delay of a $40bn package, which Greene voted against, too. Nearly 100 House Republicans voted against Ukraine funding in April 2024, following months in which the House speaker, Mike Johnson, refused to bring the aid to a vote. “We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days,” Trump said.
