Murkowski rebukes Trump over Ukraine: 'Walking away from our allies'
(Politico) Sen. Lisa Murkowski delivered a scorching rebuke Saturday of President Donald Trump’s explosive exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a rare voice of Republican dissent as party members lined up in support of the president’s increasingly combative relationship with Ukraine.
“I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world,” the Alaskan wrote in a Saturday afternoon post to X.
Her admonishment came after a disastrous Friday bilateral meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy, which saw Trump publicly berate the Ukrainian leader. In the hours after the exchange, most Republicans were quick to support Trump’s “America First” approach to realigning America’s role on the world stage.
