Luján Statement on National Security Aid for America’s Allies Around the World

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement after voting for national security aid for America’s allies in Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific:

“With the world watching, the Senate took an important step to support our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific. The United States holds a responsibility as a global power to support our allies in the fight for democracy and to deliver critical humanitarian aid to civilians. This sends a strong message to Putin and our adversaries that we will stand up against aggression.

“Additionally, this legislation includes critical provisions to address the surge of fentanyl into communities across America. This is a measure that I have long supported to save lives and put an end to this crisis. I was proud to vote for this package and sincerely hope the House of Representatives follows our lead.”
