President Joe Biden said he’s planning a “major speech” on the need for additional aid for Ukraine, adding that he fears disarray in the US House is threatening further funding.
“It does worry me,” Biden told reporters Wednesday when asked about the impact of the removal of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the prospects of more funding from Congress . “But I know there are a majority of members of the House and Senate and both parties who have said that they support funding Ukraine.”
