                          TRUMP AID TO UKRAINE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, history indicates 
President Donald Trump would have prevented the invasion of Ukraine by 
war criminal Putin as part of the Putin scheme to resurrect the failed 
Soviet Union by annexing Belarus, occupying Moldova, invading Georgia 
and then Ukraine, supported by the Chinese Communist Party and the 
Iranian terrorists.
  In his first term, Trump deterred mass murder by providing Javelin 
missiles to Ukraine, troops to Poland, and stopping Nord Stream 2 
funding of the Putin war machine.
  America has correctly provided $185 billion to stop the mass murder 
by Putin. Funds have been monitored by 29 inspectors general with a 
Trump executive order resulting this week in a report of the most 
accountable aid ever for the people of Ukraine.
  The vast majority of defense spending of Ukraine has been in the 
United States. With Trump encouragement, Europe has provided $199 
billion for Ukraine to successfully defend itself. As a percent of GDP, 
19 European countries exceed the American GDP spent on Ukraine.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American 
families with peace through strength, revealing that Putin lies, 
insulting Trump with massive drone attacks Saturday and Sunday before 
the Monday phone call with Putin as Putin continues murdering civilians 
of Ukraine.
