President Joe Biden signed a bill into law on Wednesday morning that provides foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. This measure also requires the Chinese owner of the social media app TikTok to divest from it. This decision comes after the bill passed in the House and Senate earlier this week.
This move to provide aid to Ukraine and other countries in need reflects America’s commitment to global leadership and security. By supporting Ukraine with military supplies like ammunition, air-defense equipment, and armored vehicles, the US is helping a key ally defend itself against aggression. This aid package will have a direct and immediate impact on the battlefield in Ukraine.

While the focus has been on the foreign aid aspect of the bill, the future of the popular app TikTok in the US is also a point of interest. The law gives TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, up to a year to sell the app before facing a potential ban. However, legal challenges from TikTok may delay any actions against the app.
From a conservative perspective, it is important to support our allies like Ukraine against threats and provide them with the means to defend themselves. The aid package not only strengthens our relationship with Ukraine but also demonstrates America’s stance against foreign aggression. Additionally, the provision regarding TikTok highlights the importance of national security and the need to address potential threats posed by foreign-owned technology companies.
It is crucial to prioritize national security and ensure that American interests are protected. By signing this bill into law, President Biden is taking steps to safeguard our allies and address concerns regarding potential security risks. It is essential to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing foreign policy challenges and protecting our nation’s interests in an increasingly complex global landscape.
