The U.S. House of Representatives has voted against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment, which sought to cut U.S. aid to Ukraine from the 2026 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The amendment, introduced by the conservative firebrand, failed to secure the necessary support for passage. Greene, a staunch critic of U.S. involvement in Ukraine, has consistently called for the withdrawal of American support from the conflict, arguing that such aid props up an ‘aggressor state.’
Greene’s proposal was met with broad opposition from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers who emphasized the importance of maintaining military and financial support for Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression. The defeat of the amendment underscores the bipartisan consensus on the need to sustain aid to Kyiv, despite the political tensions and partisan divisions that often dominate congressional debates.
With the amendment’s failure, the 2026 Department of Defense Appropriations Act will proceed as initially drafted, including the inclusion of funding for Ukraine. The decision highlights the challenges faced by conservative lawmakers in pushing back against the broader bipartisan support for Ukraine, even as the war in Eastern Europe continues to evolve and intensify.
