Biden dodges Israel questions then asks reporter to repeat herself
Is it your goal to beat back hates gangs or to contain them? And on Israel does the United States? The question, the question of regard to Haiti is, I'm sorry, I didn't catch all your questions. Sorry, I'm saying Africa is asking America to lead the way and double its contribution to the world Banks, International Development assistance to help developing countries to access financing, to alleviate debt distress and to tackle climate change. What is your commitment on this? We made a major commitment to this, number one, they said the United States has long championed international financial institutions that provide low cost concessional resources to poorest developing countries. Including from the IMF to that and my administration helped design and establish IMF's new initiative. That provides low cost funding for countries that are taking steps to enhance their resilience. Important partners in Africa have the capital lanes to ensure they have their capital they need to invest in their futures. We heard them and we stand with them now. That's why we've worked with Congress to enable the United States to make available in the coming weeks up to $21 billion in new lending resources to the IMF Trust Fund that provides concessional lending to the poorest countries. It's a little like, you know, having a go when you're in debt, having to go and find someone help you out. That's what this is about. We believe supporting your friends and in this partnership is happy that we're happy to do our part.
