According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, the U. S. Congress has known about russia's development of anti-satellite weapons for several weeks.
The White House confirmed that the national security threat cited by the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is related to anti-satellite capabilities being developed by Russia, but stated that it is not an active deployed capability and does not pose an immediate threat.
U. S. lawmakers are considering alternative approaches to quickly approve the next round of aid to Ukraine, as Republican leaders refuse to support the Senate's Ukraine aid bill without additional border security measures.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the public should not worry after a congressman called on Biden to declassify information about a classified national security threat.
US President Joe Biden reacted to the statements of his predecessor, Donald Trump, who said that he had threatened allies to "encourage" Russian aggression in order to force them to increase their contributions to collective security.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson told the leaders of the Baltic parliaments that the bill on additional US aid for Ukraine and border policy reforms will be divided, and the final decision will depend on the proposals of the Senate negotiators.
Former President Trump strongly disagrees with the immigration deal being discussed in Congress, calling the southern border of the United States an "open wound" and "the worst in history. " He warns that the absence of border control means a "100 percent probability" of major terrorist attacks on US soil.
