Joe Biden says he would finally meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson over funding for Ukraine\u2019s war with Russia and America\u2019s southern border.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Biden told reporters that he would speak with Johnson (R-La.) \u201cif he has anything to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Johnson said he has a lot to say to Biden but laments that the White House has rejected his pleas to meet over national and border security concerns.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The 81-year-old went on to claim that House Republicans have blood on their hands for their reluctance to send more lethal aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMr. President, would you go as far as to say Alexei Navalny\u2019s blood is on the hands of House Republicans right now?\u201d a reporter asked off camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t use that term,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThey\u2019re making a big mistake not responding. Look, the way they\u2019re walking away from the threat of Russia, the way they\u2019re walking away from NATO, the way they\u2019re walking away from meeting our obligations, it\u2019s, it\u2019s just shocking. I\u2019ve been through this awhile. I\u2019ve never seen anything like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the meantime, Biden\u2019s congressional and media allies are ramping up the pressure on the House to pass his over $95 billion foreign aid package.<\/p>\n

However, Congress is not expected to be in session until next Wednesday and will have two days to come up with a solution to avert a partial government shutdown.<\/p>\n
