[RIA] The US Democratic and Republican parties failed in negotiations in an attempt to agree on a bill to protect the border and combat the migration crisis, which would allow them to agree on President Joe Biden's request for additional support for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, NBC News reports. Republicans say they will block Biden's request for security and foreign aid without adequate immigration changes," the publication said, citing congressional representatives. Reportedly, all attempts by political opponents to reach an agreement ended in “deep disagreements.” “Democrats understand that Republicans are unwilling or unable to compromise on a reasonable proposal that can be passed,” the channel quotes one of the informed interlocutors. "Those pesky Republicans" He cried! "They ruin everything!" Against this background, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized political opponents, pointing out that their requests were “dictated” by former US President Donald Trump. "We're willing to make concessions, but we won't go around in circles if Republicans aren't interested in meeting halfway," he said. Bloomberg previously reported that the US Senate could consider Biden's package request for aid to Ukraine and Israel and other national security goals no earlier than December 11, although the vote could be delayed further due to disagreements between lawmakers. In November, Schumer said the Senate would vote on December 4. Against this background, US Presidential National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed on Monday that after Washington runs out of allocated money to help Ukraine, arms supplies to Kyiv will stop. US President Joe Biden asked Congress for $106 billion to help Israel and Ukraine, but did not receive unequivocal support. The Republican-majority House of Representatives voted to support only Tel Aviv, but the Democratic-controlled Senate blocked the initiative. Biden has stated that he will not sign a bill providing aid only to Israel without Ukraine if Congress approves such a document, and Republicans in the House of Representatives insist on a separate discussion of support for Kyiv. Meanwhile, the previously allocated money is running out, the administration admitted, which is why the arms packages sent to Ukraine are decreasing. Recently, Western media have increasingly written that the United States and the EU are tired of the Ukrainian conflict, and support for the regime of Vladimir Zelensky is weakening. Thus, The New York Times drew attention to the fact that Kyiv is experiencing a shortage of not only media attention, but also ammunition. |
