Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are approaching a border agreement related to funding for Ukraine. This was stated at a briefing by John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator of the US National Security Council.
Kirby urged the House of Representatives to "stay out of the way."
For her part, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the House has been "working in good faith to make real progress on one of the most important issues facing us, securing our border."
"Now we need Speaker Johnson to step up on his part and provide the authority and resources outlined in our request," Jean-Pierre said.
Earlier, House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the bill, as it is being discussed in the Senate, has no chance of being approved in the Republican-controlled lower house of Congress.
