George Stephanopoulos interviews USAID Administrator Samantha Power on “This Week.”
On Thursday, President Joe Biden asked Congress to consider supplying Ukraine with an additional $33 billion aid package, with $3 billion allocated for humanitarian assistance and food security funding."We've gone to Congress asking for a substantial increase in humanitarian assistance...in order to be able to meet those needs," Power said."But we're also active, of course, in more than 80 countries around the world. ...
Not only are there food shortages globally, but there is also a growing demand for fertilizer from farmers looking to protect their crops. "Certainly in terms of effects, not confined to the horrors that the Ukrainian people are suffering," Power responded.
