Mitt Romney hits back at critics within his own party who say U.S. cannot afford to fund Ukraine 's war effort.

GOP grandee says the idea that it’s too expensive is a little funny.

Since the war began 18 months ago , the Biden administration and US Congress have sent more than $75 billion on assistance to Ukraine .

Mr Romney says the West has made “extraordinary strides to come together to provide the weaponry that Ukraine needed”.

Mr Romney described Britain as the most reliable, long-term friend and ally that the U.S. has.

He said it was the strangest thing’ that Americans care so much about the British Royal family, but shared an anecdote about King Charles.
