Joe Biden is likely to be remembered as one of our country’s worst presidents after presiding over record inflation, sky-high budget deficits, the highest national debt in our history, and a world that is on fire and burning out of control. To that latter point, Biden made sure to essentially give incoming President-elect Donald Trump one last middle finger before taking that last Amtrak back to Delaware.
The regime confirmed Tuesday that $20 billion in funds have been allocated to Ukraine, backed by proceeds from frozen Russian assets. This funding is part of a $50 billion support package from the G7 and comes just 40 days before President Joe Biden is set to leave office. The loan arrives as Trump has signaled his preference for an immediate settlement between the warring parties rather than continued funding of what he described as an unending conflict — which is also entirely in line with his ‘America First’ foreign (and domestic) policy priorities.
Trump has increasingly questioned the level of financial support given to Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion, saying as recently as last weekend he will “probably” reduce aid to Kyiv, Breitbart News noted. “These funds — paid for by the windfall proceeds earned from Russia’s own immobilized assets — will provide Ukraine a critical infusion of support as it defends its country against an unprovoked war of aggression,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. The G7’s loans “will help ensure Ukraine has the resources it needs to sustain emergency services, hospitals and other foundations of its brave resistance,” Yellen added, per an AFP report.
