President Joe Biden's administration considered inviting Ukraine to NATO in the event of a Democratic defeat in the 2024 election, but ultimately abandoned the idea. This was reported by Bloomberg , citing sources close to the White House.
In an effort to shore up support for Kyiv amid fears that Trump will push the case to negotiations, the Biden administration "considered publicly calling for an official invitation for Kyiv to join NATO."
But in the end, 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 aid to Kyiv on the eve of his departure from power, the possibilities of the US president are limited.
Most of the remaining money can only be used for weapons already in the Pentagon's stockpiles. But too strong a reduction of these reserves will endanger the US's own defense, the article says.
