Biden signed the US military budget of 886 billion dollars.
In a statement, the White House announced that US President Joe Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Bill for fiscal year 2024 worth $886.3 billion.
In this statement, it is stated that in this bill, in general, the budget of the Ministry of Defense, the Office of National Energy Security Programs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the intelligence community for the new fiscal year is allocated.
In this bill, a budget of 800 million dollars is intended to help Ukraine.
This bill was approved in the Senate on December 13 and in Congress on December 14, and now it has become law with Joe Biden’s signature.
The fiscal year 2024 began on October 1 of this year and is valid until October 1 of 2024.
Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats in the US Senate, announced three days ago that this House will not vote until early next year on sending more aid to Ukraine and strengthening the security of the country’s borders. At the same time, the negotiations between the Democrats and Senate Republicans persist in this regard.
Meanwhile, the White House warned that the aid to Ukraine for the fight against Russia will end by the end of this year, and the continuation of this aid should be approved as soon as possible.
US President Joe Biden asked the country’s lawmakers to approve a supplementary aid package worth 50 billion dollars to Ukraine and 14 billion dollars to the Zionist regime.
A few days ago, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced that failure to provide more financial aid from the United States would harm Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory.
At a Wall Street Journal forum on Republican opposition to military aid to Ukraine, Sullivan said that Biden is open to finding a solution to the US border issue, but would not accept holding aid to Ukraine hostage.
