Details: Biden told the journalists that he would "be happy to meet with him, if he has anything to say".

Biden added that he thinks the Republicans who act against the support for Ukraine are making a big mistake.

Last week the US Senate approved the notorious bill on additional funding of national security, including aid for Ukraine. The most controversial issue of the measures on the southern front to deter migration has been removed from the bill.

Republican Mike Johnson, speaker of the Chamber of Representatives, made it clear that he did not want to submit the bill for voting without the measures concerning the southern border, even though he noted that the full compromise bill stood no chance in the Chamber of Representatives if it were approved in the Senate. The Chamber went on recess until the end of February.

Reportedly, Johnson wants a personal meeting with US President Joe Biden before continuing work on the project.
