US taxpayer's money should not be wasted on Kiev’s “losing war,” Marjorie Taylor Greene says

玛乔丽·泰勒·格林表示,美国纳税人的钱不应该浪费在基辅的“失败战争”上。

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that any spending bill pairing US border security with more military aid for Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia would be “a slap in the face” to the American people.
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Sunday that he will hold a vote on President Joe Biden’s request for $106 billion in military assistance for Ukraine and Israel during the first week of December.

共和党众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林表示,在与俄罗斯的冲突中,任何将美国边境安全与对乌克兰的更多军事援助联系在一起的支出法案都将是对美国人民的“侮辱”。美国参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默在周日宣布,将在12月初的第一周就总统乔·拜登请求提供1060亿美元的军事援助给乌克兰和以色列进行投票。

The Biden administration has so far failed to push through its supplementary ‘national security’ proposal, with Schumer saying that “the biggest holdup” is opposition from the Republicans, who insist that additional aid to Kiev should be combined with funding for security on the US-Mexico border.

拜登政府迄今为止未能推动其额外的“国家安全”提案,舒默表示,“最大的障碍”是来自共和党的反对,他们坚持认为对基辅的额外援助应与美墨边境的安全资金相结合。

“Our border is the worst national security crisis in US history,” Greene wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. According to AP, illegal crossings on the US-Mexico border surpassed a daily average of more than 8,000 people in September. However, the flow has subsided by around 14% since then.

格林周二在X(前称Twitter)上写道:“我们的边境是美国历史上最严重的国家安全危机。”根据美联社的报道,今年9月,美墨边境的非法越境人数每天超过8000人的平均水平。然而,此后流量已经下降了约14%。

“Ukraine is not the 51st state,” she said. “US border security should not be paired with funding for the losing war in Ukraine.”
The congresswoman slammed the Democratic Party for resisting the Republican push for more spending and increased security on the border. “Democrats want the daily invasion into America, they don’t want to fix it,” she wrote.

“乌克兰不是美国的第51个州,”她说。“美国的边境安全不应该与对乌克兰的输掉战争的资金挂钩。”
这位女议员抨击民主党抵制共和党对边境安全增加支出和加强安全的努力。“民主党希望每天都有人入侵美国,他们不想解决这个问题,”她写道。

“Americans do not support the war in Ukraine and don’t want to continue funding Ukraine,” Greene said. “So any bill pairing our own border security with more billions for Ukraine is a slap in the face to the American people.”

“美国人不支持乌克兰战争,也不想继续为乌克兰提供资金,”格林说。“因此,任何将我们自己的边境安全与对乌克兰的数十亿美元援助挂钩的法案都是对美国人民的侮辱。”

The Biden administration has provided Ukraine with more than $76 billion in military and other assistance since the start of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022. However, it has recently said that the money is running out, as some Republicans refuse to back any new aid packages for Ukraine. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who visited Kiev last week, announced a new tranche of arms and ammunition worth just $100 million.

自2022年2月莫斯科和基辅之间的冲突开始以来,拜登政府已向乌克兰提供了超过760亿美元的军事和其他援助。然而,最近表示资金已经用尽,因为一些共和党人拒绝支持任何新的对乌克兰的援助计划。上周访问基辅的美国国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀宣布了价值1亿美元的新一批武器和弹药。

The US public also appears be souring on support for Ukraine, with a recent poll AP-NORC showing that around 45% of Americans believe that Washington is sending too much money to Kiev.

美国公众对对乌克兰提供支持的态度似乎也在恶化,最近的一项AP-NORC民意调查显示,约45%的美国人认为华盛顿向基辅提供的资金过多。
