Biden said the funding was a “smart investment” that would pay dividends for American security for generations.

President Joe Biden said Thursday that the world is at an “inflection point in history” as he urged Congress to approve billions of dollars of military aid for Israel and Ukraine.

There were also early gains for U.S. defense stocks in premarket trading– General Dynamics was up 0.8%, while Lockheed Martin edged 0.2% higher. The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense exchange-traded fund climbed 1.8% in after-hours trading Thursday.
