PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN in visit to South Korea (White House photo).

President Joe Biden on Saturday signed a bill that will send $40 billion more in aid to Ukraine.

According to USA Today, the bill passed Congress with support from both Democrats and Republicans. It comes after the conclusion of an earlier $100 billion appropriation.

The new bill will provide funding for both military and humanitarian needs.

Biden signed the bill while in South Korea where he was touting the shared interests of the U.S and the Republic of Korea. According to The Associated Press, Biden placed emphasis on both the military and economic ties of the two nations. One example was a plan by Hyundai to construct a $5.5 billion electric vehicle and battery factory in Georgia.
