WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is seeking $32.5 billion in additional funding from Congress to aid Ukraine and bolster the U.S. COVID response, U.S. media reports said on Thursday.
The White House is seeking $10 billion to help train Ukraine's military, protect its electrical grid, boost its cyberdefenses and enforce sanctions, the Washington Post reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Another $22.5 billion would go toward shoring up the nations pandemic response as part of the nation's shift toward managing COVID-19 long-term and preparing for any potential new variants and spikes in cases, the Post said, also citing a letter from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget sent to U.S. lawmakers it had obtained.
The White House will officially ask Congress for the emergency funding later on Thursday, it added. The Punchbowl News media outlet also reported on the planned funding request.
And everyone will get a percentage off the top of this $32 billion, which will go into their re-election campaigns.
They think we are so stupid.
This started out as $6 billion.
We must do it for the children!
Anyone voting against this will be called a Pooty lover.
I can’t see this not passing as the dims and pubbies are on the same page, get Putin.
Now as for the money for COVID.....Who knows.
