From Politics to Artist? Biden Signs Contract with Talent Agency.

The Creative Artists Agency from Los Angeles has announced a contract signing with its former U.S. President Joe Biden. This was reported by the BBC.

This is the first mention of Biden since he left office two weeks ago. He has not yet announced his plans after a political career that lasted over 50 years.

This agency has already collaborated with the Obamas. Additionally, Biden worked with the agency when writing and promoting his book 'Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,' which he released in 2017.

This book about the loss of his eldest son became a bestseller according to the New York Times. Biden personally promoted the book in cities across America, which helped him in his successful 2020 presidential campaign.

It is expected that the collaboration between Biden and the agency will focus on writing a book or implementing another media project involving the former president.

In the last year of Biden's presidency, there were problems with the supply of weapons to Ukraine due to internal debates about the risks of conflict with Russia. This was reported by Reuters.

The most significant issues with supplying American weapons to Ukraine arose when Congress delayed the approval of $60 billion in assistance for U.S. allies. There were also concerns about the sufficiency of weapons stockpiles in the U.S.

The problem is further complicated by the 'chaotic weapon tracking system' in the U.S., where different agencies assess the delivery of weapons to Ukraine differently. Delays in sending weapons continue even after military aid was approved by Congress in April 2024.

The remaining delays in providing the necessary quantity of weapons to Ukraine, according to former Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valerii Zaluzhnyi, have caused changes on the battlefield.
