President Joe Biden claimed that the United States is “not at war anywhere in the world” during his live address on Wednesday evening.
Biden’s speech came after he had announced on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race, and he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
During Biden’s speech, he said that while it had been the “honor” of his life to serve as president, he had decided to “pass the torch to a new generation,” and continued to talk about what he would be doing while continuing to serve out the remainder of his term.

“We’ll keep rallying the coalition of proud nations to stop Putin from taking over Ukraine, doing more damage,” Biden added. “We’ll keep NATO stronger, and I’ll make it more powerful and united than any time in all of our history. I’ll keep doing the same for our allies in the Pacific.”
Many people responded to Biden’s comments, pointing out how much money the United States government has sent to Ukraine over the ongoing war with Russia.
“UKR/RUS + $175B begs to differ,” Jim Hanson, the president of WorldStrat wrote in a post on X.
