How The Trump Campaign Weakened The Republican Platform On Aid To Ukraine

It started when platform committee member Diana Denman tried to insert language calling for the U.S. to provide lethal defensive weapons to the Ukrainian government, which is fighting a separatist insurrection backed by Russia.
