Biden signs Ukraine aid, ensures immediate help
President Joe Biden has signed a significant aid package for Ukraine and Israel, with urgency surrounding the 425 billion kroner Ukrainian aid due to the country’s desperate need for military equipment. After being stalled in Congress, the bill has now been enacted, promising vital support so U.S. partners can defend themselves, including aid for Taiwan. Biden pledges immediate shipment of the aid, claiming it will bolster U.S. and global security while reaffirming American leadership. The U.S. has supported Ukraine’s defense with military aid totaling over 308 billion kroner since the Russian invasion in February 2022. A new one-billion-dollar package specific to Ukraine is being prepared, marking the first outcome of the recent legislative package. The legislation also addresses a potential TikTok ban in the U.S., contingent upon the Chinese owner’s divestment of the American division.
