Are the Republicans about to abandon Ukraine? – Dr. Julie Norman explains.

Funding for Ukraine has become a point of contention among the GOP. The Freedom Caucus, led by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, has pushed against money to help the nation’s war effort – and this was excluded in a recent budget bill, in order to facilitate a deal. How did the Republican caucus get here, and how far are they willing to go?

Andrew Harrison is joined by associate professor of politics and international relations at UCL, Dr. Julie Norman, to explain the complicated situation unfolding in the US.

• “This won’t make or break things for Ukraine in the coming weeks” – Julie Norman
• “It’s hard to read into what Trump would do with foreign aid if he gets back into power." – Julie Norman
• “There are many Republicans who are not only supporting Ukraine, but think Biden should be doing more” – Julie Norman
