Biden signs bill with $61 billion to support Ukraine
U.S. President Joe Biden has signed a package of legislation passed by Congress that provides nearly $61 billion in additional military and economic assistance to Ukraine, as well as assistance to other U.S. allies.
Biden announced this at a special briefing.
Joe Biden made the announcement at the White House, as promised, the day after all the procedures in the US Congress were completed. He said that he had signed the approved package.
“This is a good day for America, for Europe, and for world peace... This is something that will have significant consequences... It will make America safer, it will make the world safer,” Joe Biden commented.
In addition to aid to Ukraine, the package includes $26 billion for Israel, $1 billion for humanitarian aid to Gaza, and $8 billion to counter China's military power.
