Janet Yellen Says US Will Be 'Responsible' If Ukraine Loses As $100B Aid Stuck In Congress
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen emphasized the importance of approving an additional $100 billion in aid for Ukraine and Israel, warning that failure to do so could lead to Ukraine's defeat and further Russian aggression. The aid package is currently stalled in Congress, with some members opposing further assistance. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has also urged American defense companies to collaborate with Ukraine. If the bill is approved, U.S. defense stocks and ETFs could see a positive impact, as they have previously benefited from increased interest following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
