U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked to CNBC about his meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Davos on Tuesday.
“We need to make sure that with Congress, we get the supplemental funding that President Biden’s asked for, we’re working very hard on that,” he said.
Blinken said he believed there was bipartisan support for this in both Houses but explained that this would be an issue if the funds were not secured.
“Look there’s no magic pot of money — if we don’t get that money, it’s a real problem,” he said.
