Biden's request could face opposition in Congress, where some far-right Republicans - especially those with close ties to Trump - want to pare back the billions in assistance Washington has sent to Kyiv since Russian troops invaded in February 2022.
U.S. President Joe Biden visits George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake CityWASHINGTON -U.S. President Joe Biden asked Congress to approve about $40 billion in additional spending on Thursday, including $24 billion for Ukraine and other international needs, $4 billion related to border security and $12 billion for disaster relief.
Trump, the front-runner in the race to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024, has been sharply critical of U.S. support for Ukraine in the war. And 70 House members backed an unsuccessful proposal in July to cut funding for Ukraine. The Senate's Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, said in a statement he looked forward to reviewing the request "to make sure it is necessary and appropriate to keep America safe, secure our borders, support our allies, and help communities rebuild after disasters."
Republicans narrowly control the House, where Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled in June that any request for more assistance for Ukraine would face an uphill path through Congress. A second administration official said the United States was making good on its promise to stand by Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion that began in February 2022, and would not be bashful about asking for additional funds if needed.
