Following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he pledged an additional $200 million in U.S. taxpayer aid, reporters gathered in the White House room began directing questions at both leaders. Caught off guard by the number of inquiries and the increased volume, Biden raised his hand and insisted:
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hush up a second, okay?” – before informing them he had something else to say.
“I got one more thing to say,” he stated while holding a stack of papers in his hand. “I just signed another $200 million draw down from the Department of Defense for Ukraine.”
“That will be coming quickly. Thank you!” he said while facing Zelensky, according to a video clip of the exchange.
