Subject: Adding Advantageous Conditions to the Continued Funding of Ukraine

Description: Lee (R-UT) amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2024 prohibiting the government from expending more than 2 percent of the funds apportioned to Ukraine in this act until the members of NATO meet their financial obligations to the organization. CPAC believes that President Trump's strategy of conditioning increases in funding for the U.S.' European allies on the choice of other countries to contribute their fair share to the cause at hand is an acceptable strategy moving forward. CPAC supported this amendment as a way of driving nations to contribute more to Ukraine's war against Russian aggression and as a means of cracking down on wanton spending in the nation.
