resident Joe Biden is set to sign a deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky intended to commit the U.S. to a decade of military support – a move that could pressure rival Donald Trump if he takes the White House.
The move is a key 'deliverable' of Biden's G7 meetings set to begin in the Apulia region of Italy Thursday. The president arrived last night, and meets one on one with Zelensky before the two leaders are set to hold a joint press conference Thursday evening local time.
'We want to demonstrate that the U.S. supports the people of Ukraine, that we stand with them, and that we’ll continue to help address their security needs not just tomorrow but out into the future,' White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to the annual confab.
'This is a big deal,' he added Thursday. He called it a 'real marker of our commitment, not just for this month, this year, but for many years ahead, to continue to support Ukraine, both in defending against Russian aggression and in deterring future aggression.'
The bilateral deal would not have the strength of a treaty ratified by the U.S. Senate, so Biden or any successor could withdraw from it.
But it would still present a barrier should Biden's Republican successor retake the White House. It is one of several efforts considered in Congress to try to 'Trump-proof' elements of the established order.
It comes after Biden was able to push through a $60 billion measure to aid Ukraine after overcoming prolonged opposition from Republican lawmakers in Congress. Trump heads to Capitol Hill Thursday to meet with Republicans who currently control the House and are in position to potentially seize control of the Senate in the November elections.

“...so Biden or any successor could withdraw from it.”
The title doesn’t really fit. This is an executive decision and not a treaty by Congress. Biden isn’t a dictator. Yet.
not ratified by congress, not worth used toilet paper once trump is back in the WH
i doubt it is binding w/out congressional imprimatr
a better idea is that biden offer the entire biden crime family to fight the Russian front and to stay there until the war is won, or they bravely fight to the last family member for this noble cause, whichever comes first. Слава Украине!! bidens Героям слава!!
Even with is it binding? There are laws that should control the border but are ignored.
No president can “box in” a future president. Sorry Daily Fail.
follow the money - Ukraine has the goods on Joe and Hunter so blackmail continues. we’ll see if there is 10% to the Big Guy once he leaves 1600 -
“not ratified by congress, not worth used toilet paper once trump is back in the WH’
Whaddyamean? It’s as good as the Budapest Memorandum for warmongering purposes.
I hate him so much.
The two criminals are plotting.
They will drain everything from the US.
Zelenskyy plans on being the unelected leader for the next ten years?
How do they know war will last at least another ten years?
Joe is old, will he be around to enjoy his shares of the cash?
Joe BIden the mafia don securing a future for Dem kick back funding galore.
Bastids.
Give theUkrainians ALL the military ordnance and air craft they REALLY need for two years instead of slow walking it. Let the Ukrainians WIN.
Seems Nazi gangs in The Ukraine wield real power over the United States of America....
The Democrats have control over the Senate which will undoubtedly approve this treaty. However,Trump may renegotiate the treaty with Senate approval.
“Biden and Zelensky to ink 10-year deal meant to lock in U.S. military support for Ukraine: framework could box in Trump”
Considering that Ukraine will very likely be fully liberated in well under 10 years, I guess that means we’ll be sending weapons to the Russians for most of that time.
If Hunter supposedly pays his father 50% of his grift, why is 10% for the Big Guy?
The Big Guy is Obama
