Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to a foreign aid bill to require members of Congress who vote in favor of providing aid to Ukraine to join the country’s military.
The Republican Georgia congresswoman proposed amendments to the long-negotiated foreign aid bills for Ukraine and Israel on Wednesday night, after House Speaker Mike Johnson told representatives that they would vote on three separate bills. A further bill is being put forward for the Indo-Pacific region, including military funding for Taiwan.
Greene, who has long argued against providing any further funding to Ukraine, introduced three amendments to the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. One of her amendments states that “any member of Congress who votes in favor of this Act shall be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military.”
