US President Joe Biden expressed his negative position on the plan to support F-16 fighters to help Ukraine against Russian invasion on the 30th local time.
President Biden visited Baltimore, Maryland, and returned to the White House that day, meeting with reporters and answering "No" to the question of whether he was in favor of supporting F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
Ukraine is requesting intensive fighter support by raising the level of demand after recently receiving promises of tank support from the West, including the United States.
Western countries, including the United States, have been negative about Ukraine's request for fighter support, saying that it could stimulate Russia, but recently, some have sensed a change in the airflow to sympathize with the need for support.
For example, French President Emmanuel Macron said on the same day that he would not rule out the possibility of sending fighter jets to Ukraine.
President Biden also said, "I will go to Poland, but I do not know when" when reporters asked about visiting Poland.
Earlier, American media reported that President Biden was considering a visit to Europe around the end of next month, around the first year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and paid attention to the possibility of President Biden's visit to the Ukrainian border or Ukraine.
