President Joe Biden, intent on selling his legislative accomplishments this election year, will travel to New Hampshire to detail the impact of a law that helps veterans get key benefits as a result of burn pit or other toxic exposure during their service. His administration said Tuesday more than 1 million claims have been granted to veterans since Biden signed the so-called PACT Act into law in August 2022. That amounts to about 888,000 veterans and survivors in all 50 states who have been able to receive disability benefits under the law. That totals about $5.7 billion in benefits given to veterans and their survivors.

Haiti’s main international airport has reopened nearly three months after gang violence forced authorities to close it. The reopening Monday of the Toussaint-Louverture airport in Port-au-Prince is expected to help ease a critical shortage of medications and other basic supplies. The country’s main seaport remains badly affected. Gangs control 80% of the capital. U.S.-based airlines are not expected to start using the airport until late May or early June. In recent weeks, U.S. military planes have landed with civilian contractors to help Haiti prepare for the arrival of foreign forces expected to help quell the violence.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is committing to keep U.S. weapons moving to Ukraine as Kyiv faces one of its toughest moments against a renewed assault by Russia. Austin and as many as 50 defense leaders from Europe and around the world were meeting Monday to coordinate more military aid to Ukraine. He said, “We’re meeting in a moment of challenge.” He noted that Russia’s new onslaught on Kharkiv showed why the commitment was vital. Austin vowed to keep U.S. weapons moving “week after week.” However, those weapons have not fully reached the front lines and Ukrainians officials have said they are still struggling to fight back against a vastly more equipped Russian military.
