Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Trump’s international meetings, urging a focus on domestic issues amid ongoing global conflicts involving Ukraine and Israel.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, expressed her concerns on social media regarding President Trump’s recent meetings with foreign leaders. As Trump engages with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Greene is advocating for a more America-centric approach to governance.
On Sunday, Trump met with Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago estate to discuss a peace plan aimed at resolving the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which began with Russia’s invasion in February 2022. Following this meeting, Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump on Monday to address Israel’s ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. This marks the sixth meeting between Trump and Netanyahu this year.
Greene took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice her discontent with the president’s focus on international matters. “Zelensky today. Netanyahu tomorrow,” she wrote. “Can we just do America?” Her comments reflect a broader sentiment among some lawmakers who believe that U.S. resources should prioritize domestic needs over foreign engagements.
The congresswoman has been a staunch critic of U.S. military aid to foreign nations, particularly amid the escalating conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. She has previously labeled Zelenskyy a “dictator who canceled elections” and described Israel’s military actions in Gaza as both a genocide and a humanitarian crisis.
Greene’s remarks come at a time when she is set to resign from the House in January. Her relationship with Trump has been strained in recent months, particularly following a public disagreement over her push to release documents related to investigations into the late Jeffrey Epstein. This feud led Trump to withdraw his endorsement of Greene, branding her a “traitor.”
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Greene’s call for a focus on American issues resonates with a segment of the Republican base that prioritizes domestic concerns over international diplomacy.
According to Fox News, Greene’s comments highlight the ongoing debate within the Republican Party regarding the balance between foreign policy and domestic priorities.
