Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, addressed the United States Congress with a clear message for House Republicans: help fund Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.
Fresh off a state dinner with President Joe Biden, Kishida’s joint address to Congress left little question about how the world sees the United States’ stalemate over Ukraine aid.
“Freedom and democracy are currently under threat around the globe,” Kishida said. “As we meet here today, I detect an undercurrent of self-doubt among some Americans about what your role in the world should be.”
