President Biden signed a bill Tuesday which includes $13.6 billion in additional military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It’s part of a $1.5 trillion spending measure to fund the U.S. government through the 2022 fiscal year. The measure, however, was stripped of funding for the pandemic after Democrats could not agree on where that money would come from. This comes as the White House renewed urgent calls for more coronavirus funding. This is Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “We’ve outlined the severe and immediate consequences that the United States will face if Congress fails to provide us with $22.5 billion in emergency funding to fight COVID-19. Those consequences are dire: fewer monoclonal antibodies sent to states, an inability to purchase additional treatments, fewer tests available to Americans, less surveillance for future variants and a risk of running short on vaccines.”
