Trump is harming Ukraine and the United States at the same time in order to score political points among his voters.
Republican leader in the US Senate Mitch McConnell expressed doubts that Congress will be able to agree on providing military assistance to Ukraine before the presidential elections in November. This was reported by punchbowl.news . The information is also confirmed by CNN .
At a Senate Republican caucus on Ukraine, McConnell said time and political will for a bipartisan compromise on border security, on which aid to Ukraine depends, was quickly running out – and may already be running out.
McConnell told GOP senators that before border security talks began, immigration united Republicans while aid to Ukraine divided them. “The policy on this has changed,” McConnell said.
According to him, Donald Trump wants to build his election campaign precisely on the topic of countering immigration. “We don’t want to do anything to hurt him,” McConnell said.
During Wednesday’s speech, McConnell said support for Ukraine was a matter of “cold hard American interests.” But at the same time, he admitted that the compromise on the border for the sake of unblocking money for Ukraine, which he himself promoted, was under threat, and a new approach was needed.
McConnell acknowledged Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party and called him a “candidate,” although there has yet to be an official party nomination.
Trump opposes border agreement
As UNIAN wrote, Donald Trump opposed the compromise agreement with the White House, which provides for strengthening the border with Mexico and the allocation of military assistance to Ukraine.
“I believe that we should not have a border agreement at all unless we get everything to stop the invasion of millions and millions of people from nowhere into our (…) country. I also have no doubt that our Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will only make an agreement that is ideal for the border,” Trump said.
Representatives of the Democratic Party say that Trump wants to use the issue of immigration in the election campaign, so he is in no way interested in solving US migration problems right now. And without a solution to the border problem, Republicans refuse to agree to support Ukraine.

America stopped support for Ukraine for a person with a very huge ego!
Should Trump be elected POTUS i will finally give up my US citizenship and fuck the USA! Fucking yankee whore!
Jennifer Bendery and Igor Bobic of HuffPost reported that Trump yesterday reached out to Republican senators to kill the bipartisan border deal being finalized, “because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory,” one source said. “The rational Republicans want the deal because they want Ukraine and Israel and an actual border solution,” Bendery and Bobic quote the source as saying. “But the others are afraid of Trump, or they’re the chaos caucus who never wants to pass anything.”
“They’re having a little crisis in their conference right now.”
“I believe that we should not have a border agreement at all unless we get everything to stop the invasion of millions and millions of people from nowhere into our (…) country. I also have no doubt that our Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will only make an agreement that is ideal for the border,” Trump said.
Maybe my solution is too simple, but if Biden gave the GOP everything they want in this border dispute, Trump would have nothing to base his campaign on, and Ukraine would get their aid. Of course the Dems are not going to give in to the GOP, so Ukraine can wave the US as an ally goodbye.
But it would be seen as Trump victory and in case this ex-Dem yankee whore would be elected all aid would stop forever anyway.
Mitt Romney has just attacked Trump on CNN.
“I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling.”
This whole mess is really criminal. Each time the negotiation requests change. Bills separated, then together, then depending on border results, now separated again. The legislative terrorists did everything to gain time and arrive at the 2 primaries to artificially bend the political debate according to the will of a candidate… USA institutions are beautiful!
It’s a shame, some elected officials are doing everything to derail aid to Ukraine. Trump doesn’t really care that 300,000 migrants enter the USA every month for another year. His priority is to torpedo Ukraine. His boss demands it, he does it with the help of his favorite legislative terrorists.
“If we fail (vote the border security and Ukraine aid), I want every single [opponent] to go on record as owning what I think will be one of the worst strategic decisions members of Congress will make in their careers,” Thom Tills
“Trump doesn’t really care that 300,000 migrants enter the USA”
That’s what I was thinking when I saw Sir Foccusser quote Romney, “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump.”
I don’t think he really cares, except that he can use it as a tool to rile up his racist / white nationalist / anti-immigrant base.
“His boss demands it” – I assume you’re referring here to putler as being trumpkov’s boss.
