Nearly half of Americans think the U.S. is spending

too much on Ukraine aid

By SEUNG MIN KIM and
LINLEY SANDERS

WASHINGTON (AP) — As
lawmakers in Washing-
ton weigh sending billions
more in federal support to
Kyiv to help fight off Rus-
sian aggression, close to
half of the U.S. public thinks
the country is spending too
much on aid to Ukraine,
according to polling from
The Associated Press-
NORC Center for Public Af-
fairs Research.
Those sentiments, driven
primarily by Republicans,
help explain the hardening
opposition among con-
servative GOP lawmakers
on Capitol Hill who are re-
buffing efforts from Presi-
dent Joe Biden to approve
a new tranche of Ukraine
aid, arguing that the mon-
ey would be better spent
for domestic priorities.
Yet opposition to aid is
down slightly from where
it was a month ago in an-
other AP-NORC poll.
