Biden brings congressional leaders to White House at pivotal time for Ukraine aid and US border deal
President Joe Biden hosted top congressional leaders at the White House to underscore Ukraine's security needs as it continues to fight Russia's nearly two-year-old invasion, hoping to add momentum to efforts to pass $110 billion in stalled aid to Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies.Speaker Mike Johnson, in one of his few direct encounters with the president, used the face-to-face moment to push Biden for tougher border security measures, with the speaker telling him that GOP lawmakers were demanding 바카라 게임 웹사이트substantive policy change바카라 게임 웹사이트 and insisting that the White House's executive actions on immigration had weakened the border.The dueling focus from the two leaders highlighted the precarious nature of the complicated talks to unlock Ukraine aid, which is hinging on negotiations to enact tougher measures at the U.S.-Mexico border to satisfy Republicans who are otherwise hesitant about sending more aid abroad.Video above: Ukraine's President Zelenskyy takes centre stage during World Economic Summit as he tries to rally supportWhile Biden, Johnson and other lawmakers who went to the White House agree broadly on continuing to support Kyiv and implementing restrictions at the border, the two sides have remained at odds on details, with the speaker pushing the White House and Senate negotiators on immigration measures that go beyond what Biden is willing to accept.바카라 게임 웹사이트We understand that there's concern about the safety, security and sovereignty of Ukraine,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Johnson told reporters after the meeting, which ran for more than 80 minutes and included senior congressional leaders and top lawmakers on national security committees. 바카라 게임 웹사이트But the American people have those same concerns about our own domestic sovereignty and our safety and our security.바카라 게임 웹사이트Later on Capitol Hill, Johnson said he was 바카라 게임 웹사이트cautiously optimistic바카라 게임 웹사이트 as he brushed past reporters.Video below: Speaker Johnson speaks outside of the White HouseInside the Cabinet Room meeting, as the fireplace roared and tea and coffee were served, Biden again made clear to lawmakers what he had said in public for weeks: That the border is broken and that significant changes are needed, according to attendees.바카라 게임 웹사이트He even said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트I will do a big deal on the border,'바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Rep.
