Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden Asks Congress for $24 Billion More in Ukraine Aid” – below is their description.
President Joe Biden set up a clash with House Republicans by asking lawmakers to approve billions more dollars for Ukraine’s defense, further straining the ability of Congress to avoid a government shutdown Oct. 1.
The White House sees the $13 billion in funding for Ukraine war costs, which came in a $40 billion supplemental spending request, as critical to sustaining the war effort against Russia as the conflict enters a more intense phase. But Republican opposition to the aid has grown as conservatives have railed against US involvement in the war.
The House will not rubber stamp Biden’s request and will scrutinize it carefully, an aide to Speaker Kevin McCarthy said.
“The answer needs to be NO!,” Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado said on X, the social media platform formerly called Twitter. “We’ve done more than enough and none of this money is even being audited.”
