“Everything indicates that this bill will not even be brought up in the Senate. Why? For a simple reason: Donald Trump,” he said.
According to the American president, his predecessor wants to use the migration issue as a weapon in the presidential campaign and is not interested in a real solution to the crisis on the US-Mexico border.
Separately, Biden noted the importance of approving additional assistance to Ukraine, which is provided for in the bill.
“Support for this bill is a rebuff to Putin. And resistance to it is playing into Putin’s hands. As I have already said, the stakes in this fight go far beyond Ukraine. If we do not stop Putin’s thirst for power and control over Ukraine, he will not limit himself Ukraine alone,” he emphasized.
The US President finally called on Republicans in Congress to agree to a compromise and move away from “petty politics.”
“To Republicans who believe they may not support aid to Ukraine and avoid responsibility, history is watching you. Failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten,” Biden said.
Let us remind you that on the eve of the US Senate introduced a bipartisan bill on border security worth $118 billion, which also includes assistance to Ukraine and Israel. At the same time, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that he would not put it to a vote draft presented in the Senate.
