Biden Visits Lockheed Martin Plant to Push for Passage of $33B for Ukraine

HeadlineMay 04, 2022

On Tuesday, President Biden visited a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama where Javelin anti-tank missile systems are made. Biden called on Congress to approve his request for $33 billion more for Ukraine, including over $20 billion in military funding.

President Joe Biden: “As I said from the beginning, this fight is not going to be cheap. But caving to aggression would be even more costly. We either back the Ukrainian people as they defend their country or we stand by as Russia continues its atrocities and aggression.”
