Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) said that Congress could reallocate funds intended for Ukraine to FEMA for hurricane relief but the government refused to do so.

Rosendale stated that funds intended for Ukraine could be used to rebuild utilities and roads.

He said that the federal government would only act quickly if it chose to.
