Tying Border Control to Ukraine Aid
The Republican Party is divided over the issue of tying further aid to Ukraine with tougher controls on the US-Mexico border, exposing internal conflicts within the party. While some Republicans, like Mitt Romney, argue for funding Ukraine and moving on, others, including Donald Trump, insist on maintaining the issue of the border in the political conversation.
