The administration of President Joe Biden considered inviting Ukraine to NATO if the Democrats were defeated in the 2024 elections, but ultimately abandoned the idea, Bloomberg , citing sources close to the White House.
Seeking to bolster support for Kyiv amid fears that Trump would push for negotiations, the Biden administration “considered publicly calling for a formal invitation for Kyiv to join NATO.”.
But ultimately, the White House decided to abandon it, "given the low probability of success in the short term.".
The idea of bilateral security agreements is considered more viable.
Also, the agency writes, although Biden is now trying to send maximum assistance to Kyiv on the eve of his departure from power, the US president's capabilities are limited.
Most of the remaining money could be used only for weapons already in the Pentagon's stockpile. But reducing those stocks too drastically would jeopardize the United States' own defense, the article says.
