With just weeks remaining before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Joe Biden is racing to approve a $6 billion aid package for Ukraine. This final push underscores Biden’s commitment to supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russia, though Trump’s foreign policy plans suggest a change in priorities.
Biden’s administration has been a key supporter of Ukraine since the Russian invasion, providing billions in military aid. Trump, however, has repeatedly questioned the amount of U.S. aid directed overseas, arguing that these funds would be better spent on domestic issues. This shift in approach could result in a reevaluation of Ukraine’s aid as the new administration takes over.
The Biden administration plans to urgently send $6 billion in aid to Ukraine, reports Politico.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reached out to congratulate Trump after his election victory and emphasized the importance of “strong and unwavering U.S. leadership.” Zelenskyy’s comments reflect Ukraine’s hopes for consistent U.S. support, though Trump’s stance on foreign aid raises doubts about future funding levels.
Trump has stated that he could end the Ukraine conflict swiftly, calling it a “complicated puzzle” but expressing confidence in his ability to negotiate peace. His “America First” approach aims to prioritize domestic spending over extensive foreign commitments, a stance that resonates with Americans who feel taxpayer dollars should focus on U.S. needs.

Republican lawmakers largely agree with Trump’s position, advocating for reduced foreign aid to address economic challenges within the U.S. Trump’s potential pause or redirection of aid would align with his promise to reassess foreign spending, a policy shift that could reshape America’s role on the global stage.
Trumps first 12 hours as President elect ( not even President yet) has accomplished more than Biden and Kamala in the last 4 years.

As Biden’s administration works to secure the aid package, Trump’s term may bring a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy. The incoming administration’s possible halt to Ukraine funding marks a clear departure from Biden’s approach, emphasizing a renewed focus on domestic priorities.
