The data, reviewed by the publication’s sources, shows a state-by-state breakdown of the $27 billion the White House spent on ammunition and vehicles for the US military and allies.
Thus, Pennsylvania received $2.4 billion – more than any other state – in the form of orders for the production of weapons and ammunition, as well as investments to introduce new technologies.
At the same time, Texas received $1.45 billion to produce 155mm shells and other weapons. Arizona received about $2.2 billion. Pennsylvania and Arizona are key swing states that will be critical for Biden next year.
Companies in Arkansas and Wisconsin were awarded contracts worth more than $1 billion, according to released documents. Another $18 billion in contract funds are reported to be distributed among manufacturing facilities located in more than two dozen other states.
Help to Ukraine from the USA
Let us recall that on October 1, the US Congress passed a temporary budget bill. It did not include new funding for assistance to Ukraine, since they decided to consider such an initiative separately.
After this, US President Joe Biden proposed that Congress allocate $106 billion. They want to use most of these funds, about $60 billion, to help Ukraine.
Politico later reported that US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to hold a vote on President Joe Biden’s request for aid for Ukraine and Israel as early as December 4.
