US rushes aid to Ukraine before potential Trump administration, Blinken says

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the Biden administration is prioritizing aid to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes office. He emphasized the need to deliver military resources and financial support from a $61 billion package approved by Congress. Blinken's visit to Brussels aimed to reassure NATO and EU allies about U.S. commitment to Ukraine. Concerns have risen over Trump's potential shift in U.S. support, as he has criticized the current level of aid to Ukraine. Trump's recent defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, has raised eyebrows due to his strong loyalty and hawkish stance. Meanwhile, Blinken condemned North Korea's troop deployment to Ukraine, calling it a dangerous development, as allies discuss their response.
