US President Joe Biden is reportedly plotting a potential “one-and-done” Ukraine aid request that would be so big, he wouldn’t need to seek any more funding approvals from Congress until after the 2024 election, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.
The new aid request could be as large as $100 billion, enough to avoid continued legislative controversies that could hinder Biden’s re-election bid next year, the British newspaper said, citing people familiar with White House discussions. Such a proposal would dwarf the $24 billion funding request that US House lawmakers stripped out of the stopgap spending bill that they passed last week to avert a government shutdown.
“The big package idea is firmly supported by many throughout the administration,” the newspaper’s source said. “Supporters of Ukraine want this to be a one-and-done, big bill, and then not have to deal with it until after the next election.”
