The US has given Ukraine a $20 billion dollar loan. This loan will be paid back using Russia’s seized assets so there is no cost placed on Ukraine or the US - Russia is paying for it. The rest of the G7 has put up a $30 billion dollar loan which is also being paid for by Russia’s seized assets. Biden says the message is clear here: “Tyrants will be responsible for the damages they cause”. This comes as Biden has received Germany’s highest honor: the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit for being a beacon of democracy and for his decades of service to the transatlantic alliance. Last year, German Chancellor Scholz publicly backed Biden and a month ago, he backed Harris. Germany and Trump do not get along, with Trump starting the fight in 2015. And now, Trump is openly discussing appointing Richard Grenell as National Security Advisor which experts say Germany will take as a direct act of confrontation. One would think they’d get along given Trump’s admiration of Germany’s history. They say they are preparing in case Trump wins, with them ready to assume the role of the leader of the free world.
