The White House is pushing Congress to direct more funds to Ukraine as Biden continues to use America’s migrant crisis to leverage support for the war, according to a letter obtained by Politico.
White House budget chief Shalanda Young addressed a Monday letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and leaders of the Senate, warning that without congressional action, the United States will run out of resources to keep backing Ukraine in its war against Russia, Politico reported.
President Joe Biden proposed a $106 billion supplemental spending package in October after Hamas attacked Israel. The package includes more than $61 billion in emergency funding for Ukraine, $14.3 billion aid for Israel and $1.4 billion for state and local governments struggling to handle an influx of migrants.
