Al Jazeera
The outgoing US president is expected to start making his pitch to President-elect Donald Trump during a transition meeting on Wednesday.
United States President Joe Biden will try to convince President-elect Donald Trump not to pull support from Ukraine when he takes office, the outgoing president’s national security adviser has said.
Biden will make his pitch to Trump, who has repeatedly bashed US aid to Ukraine, when the two meet on Wednesday for a White House transition meeting, Jake Sullivan said in an interview with the CBS News programme Face the Nation on Sunday.
“President Biden will have the opportunity over the next 70 days to make the case to the Congress and to the incoming administration that the United States should not walk away from Ukraine, that walking away from Ukraine means more instability in Europe,” Sullivan said.
“Biden will make the case that we do need ongoing resources for Ukraine beyond the end of his term,” he added.
