‘On the right track’ — Biden to meet with Congress leaders to hammer out Ukraine aid bill

"President Biden will meet leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives at the White House, as well as key committee leaders and senior members of Congress, to discuss the critical importance of his additional national security request," Kirby said.

When asked by a journalist whether this meeting means that the parties are getting closer to an agreement on borders and aid to Ukraine, White House spokesperson Karin Jean-Pierre said that the negotiations are "on the right track."

“And I will say that while the president has this really important meeting tomorrow, negotiations on a bipartisan deal on the border — as it includes funding and policy — are still ongoing, she said.”

“So, we believe that everything is moving in the right direction, on the right track. And so Congress must act. They have to act fast.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, and Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries were expected to attend the meeting at the White House.

Heads of key congressional committees will also be present at the event.
