Washington CNN —President Joe Biden on Sunday urged House Republicans – particularly Speaker Kevin McCarthy – to keep their word on government funding and aid to Ukraine after he signed a bill that narrowly avoided a shutdown.
Speaking from the White House, Biden lauded the deal that lawmakers reached and he signed into law just minutes before funding was set to expire at midnight on Sunday.
He sought to assure Ukraine and US allies that American support is unwavering.
“I hope my friends on the other side keep their word about support for Ukraine.
They said they’re going to support Ukraine in a separate vote,” Biden said.
