President Biden welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House Wednesday, warning Russia against further military incursions into Ukraine.
President Joe Biden: “And the United States remains firmly committed to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression and — and — our support for Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations.”
President Zelensky’s first White House visit came two years after then-President Trump dangled the prospect of an Oval Office visit in exchange for political dirt on then-candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Trump’s offer of a quid pro quo led to his first impeachment.
