Joe Biden worked on Tuesday to reassure the United States’ allies about the sustainability of American support for Ukraine, which depends on the outcome of budgetary discussions that are, to say the least, chaotic. The American president therefore organized a telephone conference to “coordinate further aid to Ukraine,” the White House said.
He assured that he remained “optimistic about the continued support of the two (American) parties and both chambers” of the American Congress in Kiev, according to John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Council Charles Michel, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna took part in the exchange.
