YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Joe Biden meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in France, apologizing for the months-long holdup of U.S. military aid that is now flowing and announcing a new package to counter Russian invasion forces.

President Biden also speaks at the American Ranger Monument at Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, invoking the war in Ukraine, saying "democracy begins with each of us", and of the U.S. troops who took out the German gun positions on D-Day 80 years ago, "They're not asking us to scale these cliffs. But they're asking us to stay true to what America stands for."

Former President Donald Trump, who will face President Biden in this year's presidential election, takes a different approach as he talks about the war in Ukraine and U.S. foreign policy at a campaign rally in Phoenix.
