Senator Lee asserts that this agreement, which effectively serves as a backdoor into NATO membership for Ukraine, bypasses Congress and the Constitution by not following the treaty process and restricts future administrations from adjusting the United States' strategic posture toward Ukraine. "The Biden administration's decision to sidestep the Constitution and the Senate's role in treaty ratification is unacceptable," said Senator Lee. "This agreement not only circumvents the Constitution but also ties the hands of future administrations. Such significant commitments must be subject to thorough scrutiny by the Senate." "President Biden's bilateral security agreement with Ukraine commits America to yet another endless war. This deal risks entrapping future administrations to a prolonged military engagement without a clear exit strategy or sufficient burden-sharing from our European allies. We must prioritize American interests and avoid endless foreign entanglements," said Dr. Rand Paul. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z |
