Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., had a blunt message for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of his visit to Capitol Hill to seek more money from Congress — "there's no money in the House right now for Ukraine."
Donalds made the comments in an interview with The Recount on Tuesday.
"It's not there," Donalds said, clarifying there's no support for more money to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
"And to be blunt, we're running a $2 trillion deficit. Any money we give to Ukraine we're borrowing from our future," Donalds said. "Those are the facts."
Zelenskyy is expected in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to visit the White House and congressional leaders.
