Americans getting crushed by inflation will be happy to know Biden admin's 'boosting international climate financing'

Before getting into the “international climate financing” boost, we have to also remember all the money the Biden administration has already sent to Ukraine:

Pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, I am authorizing our twenty-second drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine since August 2021. This $625 million drawdown includes additional arms, munitions, and equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories. This drawdown will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to more than $17.5 billion since the beginning of this Administration.

On top of that and all the other foreign aid, the Biden administration is also boosting “international climate financing.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was excited to announce the news to Americans who are struggling to afford gas & groceries:

And of course the usual excuse for shoveling all this money around is “climate change”:
