While addressing the Oval Office, the president of the United States emphasized the need to move the legislation as soon as possible and strengthen its allies. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said to Joe Biden the two wars (Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine) show a global inflection point and the holding of funds signifies the safety of the Americans. A report stated that the budget process can be delayed as the US House is still in disarray to appoint a new speaker of the house. The Republican majority has not yet decided on the new speaker of the house which would likely delay the budget.

The director of the Office of Management and Budget, Shalanda Young said the Republicans will oppose Joe Biden’s proposal even after opposing the border management policies. The illegal crossing of the US border has increased since the new asylum restrictions were imposed. Young added, “We will not be lectured by those who refuse to act. As we’ve said repeatedly, Congress needs to take action to provide sufficient resources for the border,” Swipe down the page and read more details.
