Offsets for Israel, Ukraine spending would be 'devastating' for US national security: White House

WASHINGTON: The White House said on Monday that offsets sought by House Republicans for Israel and

Ukraine spending

would be "

devastating

" for U.S.

national security

.
"Politicizing our national security interests is a nonstarter. Demanding offsets for meeting core national security needs of the United States - like supporting Israel and defending Ukraine from atrocities and Russian imperialism - would be a break with the normal, bipartisan process and could have devastating implications for our safety and alliances in the years ahead," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
