KEY POINTS

  • Biden has been urging GOP House members to pass the bill and called out Congress for going on a two-week break
  • Johnson's spokesperson said they welcome Biden's "reversal" as a one-on-one meeting was "long overdue"
  • Senate Majority Leader Schumer also demanded that the bill be passed by the House following Alexei Navalny's death

U.S. President Joe Biden said Monday he is willing to meet Speaker Mike Johnson amid his administration's push for a bipartisan foreign aid bill that the House Speaker previously said might be "dead on arrival" when it reaches the GOP-led House of Representatives.
