Republican Reps. Chip Roy (TX) and Warren Davidson (OH) on Thursday are introducing a bill calling on NATO allies to pay more for Europe’s defense amid billions of U.S. taxpayer funds going to support Ukraine, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
The bill expresses “the sense of the House of Representatives that the majority of NATO member countries have failed to meet their defense spending commitment and that the United States should not continue to subsidize the security of countries that choose not to invest in their own defense.”

Grandstands, runs his mouth and does nothing.
Interestingly, though, neither he, Davidson, nor the author of the article mention that our previous President tried to do the same exact thing and he caught hell for it, from the clowns in Congress and Europe.
How dare Europe actually defend itself after 70 years of US troops being there to help them.
In the Senate, Rand Paul counld get half the conference to vote that NATO does not supercede the Senate role to declare war.
I bet they get even less in the House, even from these two, who must have been in a coma when Trump was talking about this issue as President.
They are improving. Not enough and there are laggards, but still, it’s something. I hope for a better Spanish government this year anyway.
Total waste of paper. How about a bill that limits the amount of US spending on NATO limited to the European countrys average spending percentage.
That is absolutely genius.
But we don’t even do that, until most of our troops are back in the US and most of those bases are closed
