With President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration just weeks away, President Joe Biden is working quickly to secure $6 billion in aid for Ukraine. This aid package is intended to assist Ukraine’s defense against Russian advances, though Trump’s foreign policy views have often emphasized limiting U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts.
Biden’s administration has been a major supporter of Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022, committing billions in aid. Trump, however, has questioned extensive U.S. foreign aid spending, arguing that resources should go toward supporting American citizens rather than overseas conflicts. Trump’s return to office could bring a significant policy shift.
The Biden administration plans to urgently send $6 billion in aid to Ukraine, reports Politico.

In a recent call, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump on his victory and expressed hope for continued American support. He highlighted the importance of “strong and unwavering U.S. leadership” to support peace and security. Despite this optimism, Trump’s previous statements indicate his intention to reevaluate U.S. aid.
Trump has argued that his negotiation skills could help bring a “rapid” end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. His “America First” philosophy could limit foreign aid and prioritize domestic spending, which he claims would improve American lives. Trump’s base has shown strong support for this approach, which focuses on national over international issues.

The GOP largely supports Trump’s position, emphasizing the need to limit foreign aid to focus on U.S. needs. Trump’s likely changes to Biden’s Ukraine policy could result in less financial backing for Ukraine, especially as Trump’s administration may reallocate funds.
Biden’s team is working to finalize the Ukraine aid package before Trump takes office, but Trump’s administration could intervene. This potential halt in aid would mark a clear departure from Biden’s approach, indicating a new direction in U.S. foreign aid policy.
Trumps first 12 hours as President elect ( not even President yet) has accomplished more than Biden and Kamala in the last 4 years.

It took 10 hours as Trump being nominated for Putin to talk about ending war with Ukraine, while Biden/Kamala have been bullied for 4 years of it.
