President Biden accuses congressional Republicans of political blackmail as they block a bill supporting Ukraine to push for tougher border policy
US President Joe Biden reacted to the situation with the vote on aid to Ukraine in the US Congress, where Republicans are blocking the passage of the bill, UNN reports.
Republicans in Congress are threatening to cut off support for Ukraine if they fail to push through their extreme partisan border policy. This is pure political blackmail. The stakes are too high and the consequences too significant for a political brinkmanship,
To recap,
The US Senate blocked an emergency spending bill to provide billions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine and Israel as Republicans insisted on their demands for stricter immigration controls on the US-Mexico border.
