During consideration of the fiscal 2026 defense appropriations bill (H.R. 4016), Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) offered an amendment stating: “None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for assistance to Ukraine.”
The House rejected Greene’s amendment on July 18, 2025 by a vote of 76 to 353 (Roll Call 209). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the United States should not be interjecting itself into the Russia-Ukraine war by providing aid to one of the combatants, and should instead follow a noninterventionist foreign policy that puts America first. Moreover, Congress has not declared war as required by the Constitution for military activity.
