The U.S. and allies have sent more than 2 million rounds of 155 ammunition to Ukraine in support of its effort to repel Russia's invasion more than 600 days ago. The U.S. has also sent the artillery to Israel as it fights Hamas. "The funding will expand production lines, strengthen the American economy and create new jobs," Bush told reporters.
Other parts of Biden's $106 billion supplemental request, outside the $3.1 billion earmarked for 155 millimeter artillery, would go to funding expansion of other munitions, Bush said, including funds to boost the annual production rate of Patriot air defense interceptors to 650 from 550.
