Claim via Social Media: President Joe Biden announced more aid for Ukraine but said no further aid would be provided for areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
Reasoning: Social media posts have misrepresented Biden’s comments. In remarks on Sept. 29, 2024, Biden did not say no more aid would be provided for hurricane victims. He indicated that resources had been preplanned and were already deployed but did not rule out additional aid. In fact, a day later, Biden announced plans to request supplemental aid for hurricane relief. Furthermore, the Ukraine aid package had been pre-approved by Congress and is not linked to hurricane funding.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The claim that Biden prioritized Ukraine aid over hurricane relief and ruled out future hurricane aid is false.
