Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and "FOX & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade clashed over the issue of Ukraine funding. Ramaswamy argued for a strategic approach, playing hardball and imposing consequences for any reneging on a deal, while Kilmeade emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine to prevent a potential world war and strengthen U.S. interests. They also debated the impact of the Russia-China alliance and the need to stop Russia's advances in Ukraine. Ramaswamy criticized Ukraine's use of U.S. funds and questioned the effectiveness of protecting foreign borders while neglecting domestic border security. The discussion ended with a disagreement over the possibility of sending U.S. soldiers to Ukraine without congressional authorization.
