Biden to Give Major Speech on Ukraine Aid as Some in Congress Raise Doubts

Biden plans to give a major speech on continued aid for Ukraine and says there may be "another means" to provide support if Congress blocks funding.

The White House has not said when Biden will give the Ukraine speech. Biden did not elaborate on alternate methods to get military aid to Ukraine.

Some House Republicans have doubts or openly oppose additional Ukraine funding, worrying Biden, though there is broad bipartisan support overall.

Last week's deal to temporarily fund the government excluded $13B in supplemental Ukraine aid the Biden administration sought.

Biden remains "confident" Ukraine aid will be approved due to bipartisan support, but objections by some House Republicans are an obstacle and "doesn't look great globally."
