“It allows the United States to continue our vital work, together with partners all around the world, to stand up for Ukraine’s freedom and support its ability to defend itself against Russia’s aggression,” the U.S. leader stressed.
According to him, if Putin’s appetite for power and contr in Ukraine is not stped, he won’t limit himself to just Ukraine and the costs for America will rise.
“This agreement also provides Israel what they need to protect their pele and defend itself against Hamas terrorists. And it will provide life-saving humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian pele,” the U.S. president said.
Biden stressed that House Republicans have to decide: do they want to sve the problem or do they want to keep playing pitics with the border.
“I’ve made my decision. I’m ready to sve the problem. I’m ready to secure the border. And so are the American pele. I know we have our divisions at home but we cannot let partisan pitics get in the way of our responsibilities as a great nation,” he said.
In this regard, Biden urged Congress to come together and swiftly pass this bipartisan agreement.
