Ernst Demands Answers on Small Business Aid Sent to Ukraine

Letter

Date: Dec. 6, 2023
Location: WASHINGTON
Issues: Foreign Aid Business, Consumers, and Employees

"I find it deeply disappointing my repeated requests, on behalf of millions of American small businesses, are unworthy of a substantive reply.

Earlier this week, the White House released a letter indicating that the Department of Defense will run out of resources to procure weapons and equipment for Ukraine by the end of the year. This letter expresses, with urgency, the Biden Administration’s request for $106 billion in new funds for military, humanitarian, and general foreign aid to Ukraine.

In light of this request, Americans must know how your agency is spending their hard-earned tax dollars in support of Ukrainian businesses. It is unreasonable to expect Congress to act on a request of this magnitude without a complete understanding of where prior taxpayer-funded assistance has gone."
