President Joe Biden plans to tour a Lockheed Martin facility in Troy, Alabama Tuesday.
WASHINGTON -
The facility produces weapons such as anti-tank Javelins that the U.S. has been sending Ukraine. The visit comes as Biden asks Congress to approve a $33 billion aid package to Ukraine. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said sending more aid to Ukraine is important now because the war is moving to the country’s eastern region.Lockheed Martin sent this statement about the president’s visit: “We are excited for President Biden to meet our dedicated Pike County workforce and learn more about the important work we perform for the national security of our nation and allies.”“You see these burned-out tanks. You’re probably looking at the result of a Javelin missile.
The office of Rep. Barry Moore sent this statement: “Rep. Moore has visited the facility and spoken firsthand with its employees about their impressive operations. He could not be more supportive of the invaluable work done in Pike County for the defense of our nation and allies.”“I think that it will pass,” Sen. John Cornyn said. “The question is whatever, what else will go along with it.
