Congressman Byron Donalds (R) tried to slash the military training budget for our allies abroad this week. He wanted to reduce the $300 million program to only $20 million, and stop training Ukrainian troops. His bill failed, luckily. It would have hurt our global military strength, and left many #NATO and #Ukrainian soldiers unprepared for Russia’s invasion.
Ukrainian President #Zelensky visited Congress last week, but Byron #Donalds falsely said on Recount that “there’s no money in the House right now for Ukraine. It’s not there.” The #truth is, we can help Ukraine fight Russia with only 3% of our military budget. This is a smart investment, because it can prevent a bigger and more costly war in Europe. Helping Ukraine is our fiscal #duty. Byron Donalds doesn’t get it. Southwest Florida #swfl needs better representation.
