«With its large-scale defense industrial base, Ukraine can become a strategic asset to the US. Ceding this strategic asset to China and Russia would seriously affect US interests. We urge the new administration to examine Ukraine’s innovations and low-cost production more closely. By leveraging its partnership with Ukraine, this administration can catalyze American technological competitiveness and ensure the U.S. remains at the forefront of modern warfare».
