Last week, the White House released President Biden’s request for $105 billion in military and related aid related to wars ongoing in Ukraine, Gaza, and wars not yet begun, as well as a request for additional border funding.

Next steps for Europe and the US on their green agenda: Steel and critical minerals
In a show of unity at a time of turmoil, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. met with EU leaders at a Washington summit in October.

Biden Revives Axis of Evil Propaganda Ploy
