Greene, GOP Split Over Trump’s Ukraine Weapons Plan

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has harshly criticized President Trump’s new plan to send billions of dollars’ worth of advanced U.S. weapons, including Patriot missiles, to Ukraine via sales to NATO allies, arguing it violates his 'America First' campaign promises. Trump claims the costs will be covered by European allies through increased defense spending, but Greene contends U.S. taxpayers will still face indirect expenses, such as funding troop deployments and NATO contributions. Polls show a majority of Republican voters now oppose continued military aid to Ukraine, underscoring wider party skepticism. Greene's critique highlights a broader rift within the GOP over foreign policy priorities and concern for domestic issues. Additionally, Trump has threatened to impose severe tariffs on Russia if a peace deal is not reached within 50 days, signaling a tougher stance. The dispute signals increasing fractures within Trump’s political coalition as the party heads into future elections.
