The US State Department has responded to the administration's position on the position of Donald Trump's vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, who has been a vocal critic of U.S. aid for Ukraine. At a briefing on July 16, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that the American people and the bipartisan majority in Congress support the continuation of assistance to Ukraine, UNN reports.
I think the question really comes down to not just what we support and what anyone else in public life supports, but what the American people support, and what we have seen is when it comes to Ukraine, the American people strongly support continued assistance to Ukraine. They strongly support allowing Ukraine and helping Ukraine to defend itself against Russia’s aggression. And it’s not just the American public, but it’s bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress, and when you saw the supplemental appropriations bill finally get a vote after obstruction on one side of the aisle, we saw an overwhelming vote in support of military assistance. So I think that’s probably where I should leave it with that,
