"Those who stand to gain the most from this aid package are the defense contractors. War is big business," Kennedy said in a statement. "National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan admitted as much, noting the aid package 'invests in America as a critical component of President Biden's foreign policy for the middle class — it will allow us to have more weapons and equipment that defend America to be made in America." Biden's supplemental request includes $61.4 billion for Ukraine, half of which is to provide Kiev with weapons and replenish US weapon stockpiles. The package also proposes $14.3 billion for Israel, which includes $10.6 billion for security assistance such as air and missile defense support and industrial base investments, according to the White House document. Kennedy further said that Biden's address to the nation on Thursday night was misleading. Biden in his address to the nation warned that the United States is facing an inflection point in history, a moment when decisions made now determine the future for decades to come. The US president then emphasized that the United States must boost security assistance for Israel and Ukraine. Moreover, Kennedy pointed out that Congress is "paralyzed" as it cannot pass any legislation while Republicans continue struggling to elect a new speaker of the House of Representatives.

RFK Jr. Says US Defense Firms 'Gain the Most' From Biden Aid Package Request
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - President Joe Biden's $106 billion supplemental request to Congress to provide additional security assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and other nations will mostly benefit American defense companies, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Sunday.
"Those who stand to gain the most from this aid package are the defense contractors. War is big business," Kennedy said in a statement. "National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan admitted as much, noting the aid package 'invests in America as a critical component of President Biden's foreign policy for the middle class — it will allow us to have more weapons and equipment that defend America to be made in America."
Biden's supplemental request includes $61.4 billion for Ukraine, half of which is to provide Kiev with weapons and replenish US weapon stockpiles. The package also proposes $14.3 billion for Israel, which includes $10.6 billion for security assistance such as air and missile defense support and industrial base investments, according to the White House document.
Kennedy further said that Biden's address to the nation on Thursday night was misleading.
Biden in his address to the nation warned that the United States is facing an inflection point in history, a moment when decisions made now determine the future for decades to come. The US president then emphasized that the United States must boost security assistance for Israel and Ukraine.
"President Biden’s address to the nation Thursday night was largely politics disguised as altruism," Kennedy said. "The people of Maui are fuming as many of them have only received $700 checks in the wake of devastation. East Palestine, Ohio is still managing the poisoning of their communities. We must support our allies, but never lose sight of our own citizens in need."
Moreover, Kennedy pointed out that Congress is "paralyzed" as it cannot pass any legislation while Republicans continue struggling to elect a new speaker of the House of Representatives.
