Joe Biden says no to sending American fighter jets to Ukraine

Published

Joe Biden has recently announced other means of military assistance for the nation

 
Joe Biden has ruled out sending American fighter jets to Ukraine while being questioned by reporters on the White House lawn.

This is despite the U.S. ramping up its up military assistance for the war-torn nation in a number of other ways.

Last week, Biden announced his administration will be sending 31 M-1 Abrams tanks, despite warnings from top U.S. officials.

Currently, there is fierce fighting in eastern Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv battle for control of key areas within the Donetsk region.

The south is also facing severe bombardment.

On Friday, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby acknowledged Volodymyr Zelensky is pleading with western nations to donate their fighter jets.

“We are constantly talking to the Ukrainians about their needs, and want to make sure that we’re doing the best we can to meet them – and if we can’t, that some of our allies and partners can,” Kirby said.

Ukraine is warning it currently doesn’t have the means to defend itself against Iranian ballistic missiles — if Russia obtains them.

Also while on the White House lawn, Biden was questioned about his intention to visit Europe and Poland as the one-year anniversary of the start of the invasion rolls around. #trending #featured

Published

Investor sentiment is improving as fresh data out of the US and Australia shifts expectations for central bank action.

Stronger-than-expected labour market figures in Australia have raised questions about whether the Reserve Bank will move ahead with a rate cut next week. While the RBA has signalled it is watching data closely, the resilience in employment may force a delay.

Meanwhile, in the US, softer inflation data has lifted hopes that the Federal Reserve could cut rates later this year. That news helped spark a sharp turnaround in US equities, with the so-called “sell America” trade now unwinding as buyers return to Wall Street.

Trump’s AI deals in the Middle East spark division over national security risks and concerns over China ties.

In Short:
Trump’s AI deals with Saudi Arabia and the UAE are causing internal conflicts in his administration over US national security. Officials are concerned that American technology supplied to the Gulf could ultimately benefit China, leading to calls for enhanced legal protections.

President Donald Trump’s recent AI deals in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are causing internal conflicts within his administration.

Concerns are rising among officials, particularly China hawks, about the implications for US national security and economic interests.

Agreements include shipments of vast quantities of semiconductors from Nvidia and AMD to the Gulf states, prompting fears that American technology could ultimately benefit China, given the region’s ties with Beijing.

While the accords include clauses to limit Chinese access to the chips, some officials argue that further legal protections are necessary.

Critics, including Vice President JD Vance, have suggested that maintaining US dominance in AI is crucial, and shipping chips abroad might undermine that goal.

Supporters of the deals, including AI Adviser David Sacks, argue the need for American technology in the Gulf to deter reliance on Chinese alternatives.

Despite this, internal discussions are underway to potentially slow down or reassess the agreements due to ongoing national security concerns.

Conversations have also included proposals for a significant chip manufacturing facility in the UAE, which many officials deem risky due to China’s influence.

Additionally, worries persist about G42, an AI firm in Abu Dhabi, which has historical ties to Huawei.

The agreements with Gulf countries promise to enhance their technological capabilities while necessitating careful oversight to address US security priorities.
