President Biden is set to meet with congressional leaders in an imperative meeting focused on funding for Ukraine and Israel. The meeting holds high stakes, as Republicans have made it clear that they will not pledge their support for the broader supplemental funding until substantive changes are made to border policies.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has emphasized that his main focus lies on the border issue. However, the White House has indicated that the discussion during the meeting will center solely around Ukraine, with classified information being shared to emphasize the impact of the lack of continued support on Ukraine's stance in the battlefield. The objective is to impress upon congressional leaders the urgency of approving the funding for Ukraine.
