HEGSETH VS SENATE: Pete Blasted $30B Ukraine War Funding, EU Accused Of Free-Riding

Описание: U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intense questioning in Congress over Washington’s funding of Ukraine and its broader global war strategy, including rising tensions with Iran. In a heated hearing, Hegseth claimed the U.S. has spent $30 billion on Ukraine’s civilian support, arguing that the greater strategic priority is preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He urged European nations to take on a larger share of Ukraine’s financial burden, saying wealthy European economies should “step up” and lead the effort. Senator Angus King accused the administration of abandoning Ukraine, while Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns over alleged financial conflicts of interest, which Hegseth strongly denied. The exchange highlighted growing political divisions in Washington over foreign policy priorities, transatlantic burden-sharing, and the direction of U.S. engagement in multiple global conflicts.
