Pretend President Joe Biden is facing renewed criticism for his response to the devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui after offering victims $700 per household in emergency aid.
Political opponents and commentators described the sum as "insulting" and compared it with the more than $113 billion-worth of aid the U.S. has sent to Ukraine as it defends itself against an ongoing Russian invasion. On Monday, the government announced it was sending $200 million in defensive capabilities.
Biden has previously faced backlash over what some saw as a dismissive response to the death toll on Maui, brushing off questions about the disaster while spending the weekend at his Delaware beach house.
