Couldn't he, like, not spend it? Not American, so don't understand why allocated funds need to be spent?
Nope.
Once congress decides to set money to a thing- border walls, Ukraine Military Aid… the president is supposed to do that thing.
Which, you’ll note, Trump was the one who (tried) to ignore that. You’ll also note that Putin invaded almost immediately after Biden stepped into the office. (Because delaying at that point meant letting Ukraine become increasingly resilient.)
If it wasn’t obvious, trump is a traitor.
Ah, so Trump has twisted it to make it look like Biden is building the wall
I bet he'll later say it was actually him
it was actually trump.
It's also deeply unpopular, as it's being demonstrated to be largely useless... and the amount of graft with the contracts to build it being positively insane.
Hey buddy, are you ok?
hey buddy, check the update that happened...before you ever commented.

That is a hilarious Venn diagram, thank you. :)
Congress controls the budget and whoever is president signs it into law. I would still think there is something Biden could do but it might take cooperation of Congress
he can (and has,) ask congress to reconsider, but the funding was already approved in a bill signed by trump. congress has refused to reconsider it, leading to work needing to start going on.
