Biden's using the IEEPA is a big deal for Ukraine. As Tribe says, if other nations take his lead, ancianita Sep 2023 #1

And there will be SO much work to do! Including the environmental cleanup. I hope this comes off! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #2

Ukraine will get that money. Tribe is right that the G7 will probably follow Biden's lead. ancianita Sep 2023 #3

That would be wonderful. Ukraine needs all the help they can get from allies. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #4

Just thought of something else KS Toronado Sep 2023 #7

And how would Republicans in Congress feel about it? Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #9

If Biden promotes it as saving our taxpayers $$$$$ KS Toronado Sep 2023 #10

Get some good rest, my friend! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #11
