This article is inaccurate or at least misleading in its title presentation. It's reporting on something that happened on October 20th, as the second paragraph notes, and was never actually enacted. In fact, Biden moved back from this and has been instead moving to restrict all weaponry sales to Israel in the past few days.

Biden has not been in any form of good light in my eyes in the past two months, but please don't spread fake or misleading information like this.

It’s reporting on something that happened on October 20th, as the second paragraph notes, and was never actually enacted.

It's reporting on a budget request filed on October 20th. The requests pertain to fiscal year 2024. It's still set before the Senate to be voted on.

Do you have a source for him moving to restrict sales? I see there was a House bill about that a couple weeks ago, but it didn't involve Biden.

That doesn't fit the us vs them narrative OP wants you to accept. How's your down vote count looking?
