Markwayne Mullin News

Former President Donald Trump should be credited for language in the foreign aid bill that was expected to pass the Senate on Tuesday night that requires assistance to Ukraine be part of a loan, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told Newsmax.

The loans included in the bill offer $7.849 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine and $1.575 billion in assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia. Mullin told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren" that a Feb. 10 post on Truth Social set the stage for lawmakers to require the assistance to be made into a loan.

"As soon as he sent that out, I called President Trump and said, are you serious about this? We went to work working with President Trump." "We spent weeks, Lindsey Graham , myself, and a few other House members all worked with President Trump to get this language in there, and I don't think President Trump is getting enough credit for what he did," Mullin said.

"We call it the national security bill and those that oppose it call it the Ukrainian bill, but 75% of the bill stays inside the United States," Mullin said. "That's what a lot of people don't realize, that this goes to our defense industry. This goes to replenishing our munitions."
