President Joe Biden is set to visit Baltimore amidst discussions about supplemental funding for the Francis Scott Key bridge disaster. However, the far-right House Freedom Caucus has outlined a series of stringent demands that could complicate the process of securing emergency aid in the GOP-controlled House.
The Freedom Caucus is insisting on exploring maximum liability from foreign shipping companies as a primary step before agreeing to federal funds. Additionally, they are calling for the Port of Baltimore to utilize existing federal funds before seeking additional assistance.
