>U.S. Republican Congressman Joe Wilson announced his plan to introduce the Freedom First Lend-Lease Act to Congress, on Feb. 10.
>Reauthorizing this program would grant U.S. President Donald Trump the authority to send Ukraine weapons through lend-lease.
>Wilson argued that this initiative would help deter “War Criminal (Vladimir) Putin” and he claimed that former U.S. President Joe Biden should have taken similar action earlier.
>The $895 billion U.S. defense bill passed by Congress in Dec. 2024 did not include a provision to extend the lend-lease act for Ukraine.
>The U.S. passed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act in May 2022, but it expired in September 2023 without ever being used by Biden
>Ukrainian diplomats have been lobbying for its reintroduction as it allows the U.S. president to loan or lease arms to Ukraine while cutting through congressional red tape.
