Joe Biden Wears Ukraine Tie, Pin While Selling $118B Bill to American Taxpayers

President Joe Biden declared he was carrying a Ukraine tie and pin throughout an tackle on Tuesday making an attempt to promote American taxpayers on an $118 billion “border security” invoice that might spend $20 billion on border safety and $60 billion on Ukraine assist.

“I’m wearing my Ukraine tie and Ukraine pin — which I’ve been wearing because they’re in dire straits right now defending themselves against the Russian onslaught,” he mentioned, whereas addressing the general public on the Senate border invoice he’s making an attempt to persuade Congress to cross.

The United States has already spent a minimum of $113 billion on the struggle in Ukraine since Russia invaded the nation in February 2022. However, the Biden administration mentioned congressional authority to ship Ukraine extra has run out and is urging Congress to cross one other $60 billion.

Biden argued throughout his tackle:

A clock is ticking. Every week, each month that passes with out new assist Ukraine means fewer artillery shells, fewer protection air protection programs, fewer instruments for Ukraine to defend itself in opposition to this Russian onslaught. Just what Putin needs. Ukrainians are combating bravely.

He mentioned supporting the invoice is “standing up to Putin,” and opposing the invoice is “playing into his hands.”

Biden argued that if Putin was not stopped, he would invade different international locations, and that the “costs for America and our allies and partners will rise.”

He tried to disgrace “MAGA Republicans” who opposed funding for Ukraine, saying they’d be “held accountable,” and that “history is watching.”

“The position of the MAGA Republicans can be characterized by the New York Times headline…’Trump first, Putin second, America third.’ That cannot pertain,” he mentioned.

“It all goes to the question of American power. And all goes to, does America keep his word, does America move forward?” he mentioned.
