Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) on March 15 disagreed with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s position on U.S. support for Ukraine.

“I speak for myself and I hope to be able to visit with a number of candidates or hopefuls and just explain the position where we are globally and how we can be a great convener,” Ernst, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Epoch Times following remarks at The McAleese “FY2024 Defense Programs” Conference in Washington.
