U.S. President Biden received visiting German Chancellor Schautz at the White House on the 9th. In addition to reiterating the importance of aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russia, he called on the U.S. Congress to pass a supplementary budget for Ukraine as soon as possible. Scholtz echoed that Germany is ready to increase military aid to Ukraine. Without European and American support in Kiev, the Ukrainian people will have no chance to defend their homeland.
According to the key points of the “Xiao meeting” mentioned in the White House press release after the meeting, Biden reiterated his firm support for Ukraine to Xiaoz, and Xiaoz also emphasized the importance of continued U.S. support. The two leaders also discussed measures to prevent escalation of tensions in the Middle East and reiterated Israel’s right to self-defense under international law.
On the 8th, the U.S. Senate will take the supplementary budget bill to assist Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other Indo-Pacific allies one step further. The Democratic Party’s proposal is worth a total of US$95.34 billion (approximately NT$3 trillion), of which US$60 billion is for aid to Ukraine. However, the prospects of the case are unclear. Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has stated that new military aid to Ukraine will not be passed before Biden responds to calls for border immigration reform.
When meeting with Schotts in the Oval Office, Biden said that it was very important for Germany to increase military aid to Ukraine this year and that the United States would also work hard. If the U.S. Congress fails to pass the aforementioned supplementary budget, it will be equivalent to “criminal negligence” and unacceptable.
Scholz said that Germany and the United States have to play a role in maintaining peace around the world, especially in Ukraine’s fight against Russia. Without the help of the United States, the situation in Ukraine will be very complicated. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with former Fox News anchor Carlson is ridiculous. Putin lies a lot. In fact, he only wants to seize the territory of neighboring countries. This is an act of imperialism. Putin’s wishful thinking is that European and American support for Ukraine will fade. .
