President Trump's critics argue he has a chance to prioritize American interests by addressing the challenges stemming from the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine situation. After the Russian invasion in 2022, substantial Russian assets were frozen by Western nations, including $300 billion by G7 countries. Legislation passed in April 2024 allowed for the seizure of $5 billion in these assets, which the Biden administration has not utilized. Critics suggest that by seizing these funds, Trump could not only support Ukraine but also enhance American military readiness and economic interests.
President Trump has a golden opportunity to put America first and clean up former President Joe Biden's Ukraine mess, critics believe.
Congress handed the then-president the power to seize at least $5 billion in frozen Russian assets sitting in US banks.
These funds can be used to buy American weapons, which will boost our defense industry, create tens of thousands of jobs and strengthen our military readiness.
Using these frozen assets means more American manufacturing, stronger supply chains and a defense sector that stays ahead of global threats.
