A Democrat-led effort to stop the Biden administration from transferring cluster munitions to Ukraine is turning into a bipartisan effort, with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) offering to be the Republican co-sponsor on the effort.
On Friday, July 7, the Biden administration announced plans to begin transferring to Ukraine a type of cluster munition known as the dual-purpose improved conventional munition (DPICM). The plan quickly caught criticism from members of the president’s own party, citing concerns about the weapons, which release a cluster of dozens of submunitions that don’t always immediately explode.
