U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration’s top achievements.
Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.
“And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war,” Vance said.
That’s the thing, we aren’t really even sending money to other countries. We send the stuff like old tanks and aircraft that were going to be retired anyway. Then we spend the money to replace them here in the US. If we give them $200m worth of stuff, that $200m is spent here in the US buying that stuff from US labor and companies because military stuff is about the only things we make anymore.
