The White House spokeswoman indicated that the United States wanted to “intensify (their) efforts and channel this aid to Ukraine.”
What will happen to support for Ukraine? Two days after the election of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States, many questions are being asked about the direction that American military aid to kyiv will take under the new president's future administration.
While Donald Trump has repeatedly declared that the American financial effort for Ukraine was too great, his effective takeover of power must not take place until January 20, 2025.

In fact, the Biden administration could be tempted to focus, during the next three months before the swearing-in, on accelerating the delivery of aid to Ukraine and continuing to put in place mechanisms so that the Europeans take over, according to diplomats.
Asked about this on Thursday, November 7, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre stressed that the United States would “intensify (their) efforts and channel this aid to Ukraine.”
“We understand how important it is to make sure they have what they need,” she adds.
According to the British daily The Guardian, the Biden administration is currently trying to release new military aid worth nine billion dollars.
To date, NATO has already taken over the coordination of military aid to Ukraine, until then in the hands of the Americans alone since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. It seems unlikely, however, that Washington lifts its veto on kyiv being able to use long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory.
