It is the sense of Congress that— the July 14, 2025, announcement by President Donald Trump and North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Mark Rutte that NATO will coordinate funding from allies in Europe and Canada to procure United States origin weapons for Ukraine is a welcome development; the commitment by NATO allies to purchase United States origin weapons— demonstrates meaningful burden sharing between allies in Euro-Atlantic support for Ukraine; builds upon the $180,000,000,000 that the European Union has made available to Ukraine since February 2022, including $65,000,000,000 in military assistance; and provides additional demand to United States industries to ensure consistent production of weapons and materiel essential for the United States own defense and contingency operations; the initiative developed by President Trump and Secretary General Rutte provides the requisite reassurance to United States taxpayers that the United States will support Ukraine as part of a balanced partnership with Europe and Canada; and in order to maintain a balanced partnership between the United States and NATO allies in support of Ukraine, the United States must also provide new funding for security assistance to Ukraine to fund remaining military needs not otherwise provided by other partners.
