Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) thinks too much money is being spent to fund foreign aid and wars so she will not vote in favor of the proposed fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.
Greene made her intentions known in a post on X.
“This week we are voting on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that funds our military and it’s, once again, filled with American’s hard earned tax dollars used to fund foreign aid and foreign country’s wars,” she wrote.
She argued this money should be allocated elsewhere and is not being used in the best interest of the country.
“These American People are $38 Trillion in debt, suffering from an affordability crisis, on the verge of a healthcare crisis, and credit card debt is at an all time high,” she continued. “Funding foreign aid and foreign wars is America Last and is beyond excuse anymore.”
“I would love to fund our military but refuse to support foreign aid and foreign militaries and foreign wars,” she added.
“I am here and will be voting NO,” Greene concluded.
On the other hand, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) speaks highly of the proposed NDAA, per Fox News.
“This year’s National Defense Authorization Act helps advance President Trump and Republicans’ Peace Through Strength Agenda by codifying 15 of President Trump’s executive orders, ending woke ideology at the Pentagon, securing the border, revitalizing the defense industrial base, and restoring the warrior ethos,” Johnson said in a statement.
“Under President Trump, the U.S. is rebuilding strength, restoring deterrence, and proving America will not back down. President Trump and Republicans promised peace through strength. The FY26 NDAA delivers it,” Johnson said.
