President JoeBiden is calling on Congress to approve roughly $40 billion for additional assistance for Ukraine, enforcement of the president's border policies, and ongoing disaster recovery and response efforts.
Senior administration officials briefed reporters on the contents of Biden's supplemental request Thursday afternoon. It comes weeks ahead of an expected budget showdown on Capitol Hill.
The request does not include any additional aid for Taiwan, as had been previously reported, but senior administration officials maintained that the president's previous budget requests for the Pentagon allowed for emergency response for Taiwan should the need arise. Biden's request also comes after he and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy negotiated spending caps before agreeing to a debt limit increase.
Administration officials declined to say if the White House had spoken to McCarthy about approving an additional funding request.Congressional Republicans have been eyeing cuts to the federal budget ahead of the September government spending deadline, and, when pressed, the administration reiterated that this request is"absolutely not" a measure to circumvent the domestic spending levels negotiated in the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
