The Republican chairmen of the Senate’s defense oversight panels, in back-to-back floor speeches Wednesday, made the case for supporting America’s European allies, contrasting with the Trump administration’s approach on key issues.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, sharply criticized the Trump administration for its desire to make Greenland part of America and for the White House’s broader antagonism toward European allies.
Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, addressing Russia’s war on Ukraine, supported the proposition that Russia should not gain at the negotiating table Ukrainian territory that Russia has not overtaken on the battlefield.
