US President Joe Biden has called on Republicans in Congress to act and approve additional funding, including more than $60 billion for Ukraine, after the 2024 government funding deal. This is stated in the White House press release.
"Now it's up to Republicans in Congress to do their job, stop threatening to shut down the government, and fulfill their basic responsibility to fund critical homeland and national security priorities, including my additional request. It's time for them to act," Biden said.
At the same time, the President of the United States emphasized that the agreement brought the country one step closer to "preventing an unnecessary shutdown and protecting important national priorities."
"It reflects the funding levels that I agreed with both parties," Biden said.
