WATCH: 'I know the administration says 'as long as it takes,' I think with the right weapons, it shouldn't take so long and quite frankly more,' RepMcCaul said on ThisWeekABC.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul said that the Biden administration ruling out sending F-16s to Ukraine as the war rages on is"unfortunate."
"They have a window of time with a counteroffensive. That’s why it’s important, when I talked to these top military officers, to give them everything ... that you can now so they can win this thing," he added. National security adviser Jake Sullivan defended Biden's decision on F-16s on Sunday morning and reiterated that the administration has ruled them out for the time being.
McCaul emphasized, however, when the U.S. gives Ukraine"what they can really use and ask for, they win. When we slow walk and slow pace this thing, it drags it out, and that's precisely what Putin wants."
