President Joe Biden speaks during a meeting with Congressional leaders in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024, in Washington. “The need is urgent,” Biden said of the Ukraine aid. The leaders spoke of the need to fund Ukraine and avoid a shutdown, and also discussed border security. He described the president, vice president, McConnell, Jeffries and his own effort to implore the speaker to pass Ukraine funding urgently. But Johnson, in brief remarks outside the West Wing following the Democrats, didn't mention Ukraine funding.
