President Biden pulled U.S. troops out of Afghanistan and showed no desire for other military adventures. But the unexpected wars in Ukraine and Gaza have become defining issues of his presidency.
President Biden meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris on June 7. Biden announced another $225 million in weapons for Ukraine, part of the recently approved package of $60 billion in military assistance.When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago, President Biden's response was stronger and swifter than many expected.
That same aid has drawn criticism from others who say he should cut off arms to Israel due to the high Palestinian civilian death toll. And on Ukraine, Biden's various critics say he has provided either too much or not enough in the way of military assistance. But the president still supports Israel's effort to fully defeat Hamas, and he recently signed off on a huge new package of weapons for Israel, which is already the leading recipient of such aid.
Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Paris on Friday. Biden announced another tranche of weapons for Ukraine, part of a recently approved aid package worth $60 billion. Biden was in France for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing in World War II, and he drew parallels between the current war in Ukraine and the fight against Nazi Germany.
