Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna took a firm stand against sending more American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine during a fiery appearance on NEWSMAX’s “American Agenda.” The Florida Republican blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for what she called “gross disrespect” toward President Donald Trump and the American people during their explosive White House meeting.
Luna declared she won’t support any new funding packages for Ukraine’s war effort, arguing that Zelenskyy failed to properly defend his country while expecting endless handouts from U.S. taxpayers. She slammed the Ukrainian leader for insulting President Trump instead of showing gratitude for past American support. “This gross disrespect will not stand,” Luna stated forcefully, calling on Congress to stop wearing pro-Ukraine pins and start putting America first.
The congresswoman praised President Trump and Vice President JD Vance for standing up to Zelenskyy’s “theater act,” emphasizing that real leadership means protecting American interests rather than bankrolling foreign conflicts. She highlighted how Zelenskyy’s poor polling in Ukraine proves his failed leadership, suggesting European nations should bear the burden of supporting his government if they want the war to continue.
Luna’s comments reflect growing conservative frustration with what many see as Ukraine taking advantage of American generosity. She positioned the Trump administration’s tough stance as a necessary correction to years of weak foreign policy that put globalist interests ahead of working-class Americans. By rejecting Zelenskyy’s demands, Luna argued, President Trump is finally restoring respect for the United States on the world stage.
The fiery exchange between Trump and Zelenskyy has become a rallying cry for America First conservatives who believe previous administrations wasted billions on endless foreign wars. Luna emphasized that hardworking Americans shouldn’t foot the bill for foreign conflicts when there are pressing needs at home, from border security to economic recovery.
Critics who accuse Trump of emboldening Russia miss the bigger picture, Luna suggested. True strength comes from refusing to be manipulated by foreign leaders, she argued, praising Trump for demanding accountability instead of writing blank checks. The days of America being “disrespected and taken advantage of” are over, she concluded, urging Congress to follow the president’s lead in putting American citizens first.
This bold stance has energized the Republican base, with many conservatives viewing the Ukraine conflict as a symbol of Washington’s broken priorities. Luna’s message resonates with voters tired of globalist policies they believe weaken national sovereignty. By standing with Trump against Zelenskyy, she positions herself as a warrior against the Washington establishment’s failed foreign aid experiments.
The confrontation marks a turning point in U.S. foreign policy, conservatives argue, where strength and mutual respect replace weakness and endless concessions. Luna’s refusal to back down signals a new era where American interests dictate international engagements—not the demands of foreign leaders or European allies.
