Biden fears that the bill to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the US border may fail. “The toughest border security reforms likely won’t even reach the Senate,” the president said.
Republican leadership in the US House of Representatives previously rejected a bill combining proposals to secure American borders and allocate new money for arms supplies to Ukraine. House Speaker Michael Johnson called on the Senate to waste no time and reject the bill. The bill was created during the negotiation process, and should have been a bipartisan agreement, Biden said.
