Biden Delegates Key Economic Powers to Support Ukraine

US President Joe Biden has delegated certain functions and authorities under the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act to key members of his administration. This delegation, announced via a presidential memorandum, aims to streamline the implementation of the Act, which is a crucial part of the U.S. effort to support Ukraine amid ongoing challenges.

The memorandum, addressed to the Secretaries of State and the Treasury, outlines specific delegations. The Secretary of the Treasury has been granted the functions and authorities vested in the President by sections 104(a)(1) and 104(a)(2)(A) of the Act. The first section gives power to allocate and manage financial aid to support the economic recovery and prosperity of Ukraine while the latter gives power to implement specific economic measures, such as financial sanctions, trade adjustments, or economic incentives, that are necessary to support Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, will handle the functions and authorities vested by sections 104(g), 104(i), 105(c), 105(e), and 105(g) of the Act. Essentially, the delegated powers gives the cabinet member the authority to manage international diplomatic efforts, oversee compliance and effectiveness of economic aid, and handle humanitarian programs and reporting related to Ukraine’s economic support, all in coordination with the Treasury for financial oversight and accuracy.

The Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act (Division F of Public Law 118-50) is designed to aid Ukraine in its economic recovery following the extensive impacts of the ongoing conflict with Russia. This legislation underscores the U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and economic stability.

This memorandum comes shortly after Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2024. In his statement, Biden emphasized his dedication to fulfilling his presidential duties for the remainder of his term, saying, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

In his stead, he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee to face presumptive Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.

Biden’s presidency has been marked by legislative achievements, including historic investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and climate change, as well as pivotal foreign policy actions such as the support for Ukraine.
