White House and Congress reach agreement on US budget: Biden promises quick resolution

U.S. President Joe Biden has announced that his administration has reached an agreement with lawmakers on how to proceed with the state budget bills for the entire current fiscal year. The White House managed to overcome differences with Congressional leaders.

This is Biden's statement on public funding. It was published on the White House website on Tuesday, March 19.

According to the American leader, the House of Representatives and the Senate are now working to finalize a package that can be quickly submitted for consideration.

"And I will sign it immediately," Biden assured.

Earlier, we wrote that the US President's budget request for the fiscal year 2025 provides $1.5 billion to counter the Kremlin's aggression, including $482 million for Ukraine.

Earlier, House Speaker Mike Johnson promised to unblock aid to Ukraine. However, he noted that the House is preparing its own bill, which will differ significantly from the package bill approved by the Senate last month. The administration of US President Joe Biden insists that House Speaker Mike Johnson stop delaying consideration of the bill that provides for the allocation of aid to Ukraine. The White House emphasizes that the document should be put to a vote as soon as possible.
