WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a likely roadblock from House Republicans on aid for Ukraine, President Joe Biden said Wednesday he’s planning to give a major speech on the issue and suggested there may be “another means” to provide support for Kyiv if Congress continues to balk.
“I'm going to be announcing very shortly a major speech I’m going to make on this issue and why it’s critically important for the United States and our allies that we keep our commitment” to Ukraine, Biden told reporters after giving unrelated remarks at the White House.
White House officials declined to say when Biden planned to give his speech. The president did not elaborate on the alternate method he was looking at to get additional military aid to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.
“There is another means by which we may be able to find funding, but I’m not going to get into that right now,” he said.
Aid for Ukraine has been a source of tension and uncertainty as several Republicans in the House have severe doubts or openly oppose additional funding to sustain the Ukrainian military.
The president said the resistance does “worry” him, but he noted that there is broad bipartisan support. Still, last week's deal to keep the government open through mid-November excluded the $13 billion in supplemental aid that the Biden administration sought last month, raising questions about just how long the U.S. could continue to send money to Ukraine.
The agreement to temporarily keep the U.S. government open came at a steep political price for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. At the instigation of Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, and other conservatives, McCarthy on Tuesday became the first speaker to be ousted from his post.

Thank God
May it be so!
He has “paths around” SCOTUS for student loan forgiveness.
He has “paths around” a dozen environmental regs to build a bit of wall in Texas.
He has “paths around” Congress to keep the payoff money flowing to Ukraine to keep them from blabbing about his sordid corruption.
He has “paths around” laws preventing him from collecting bribes from our enemies.
The $$$ is what’s critically important to Brandon.
This might be it... Martial law. It would eliminate those pesky election problems too.
Where can I contribute? Jk. Unreal. What a scam. Russia has all the cards including time.
How in the world is he able to act like a dictator and ignore Supreme Court rulings or the will of the people???????
HOW?????
Biden is going to TRY to give.a major speech...
Pump up the drugs!
I just can’t believe the rats let him out of his room....they must all be on tranquilizers when FJB has to open his mouth.
Please tell me that comment was sarcastic.
And here comes the Biden Cheerleaders 📣
Biden probably has a path around the Constitution to go after citizens for their political beliefs too... He’s such scum.
Some may think this terrible, but I hope that he drools uncontrollably during his speech.
Simple, The Media will not report any of it, so it’s like it never happened.
“The greatest power the media has is the Power To Ignore.” - Chris Plante.............................
It will be a garbled mess, he'll exit the wrong end of the stage, he'll shuffle away to avoid questions because his dementia is so bad he can't formulate a coherent thought, much less an answer.
Does anyone remember the Star Trek Original Series episode Patterns of Force with a figurehead leader who was was drugged up and just read whatever he was told? Biden reminds me of John Gill.
So, just an average day for Pudding Brain.
Another questionable deal from Trader Joe ... I mean Traitor Joe
His handlers are still working out who they will threaten or strong arm into, you know, make things “right.” Of course SLO Joe will get to wet his beak.
I’ve got a feeling he plans to address the American public that he will be proposing a negotiation. Provide money for Ukraine and the border wall. In his demented feeble mind, he can then either claim conservatives are blocking funding for the wall. Or, he will then pretend to solve the border crisis and hope to fool the public into believing he removed the issue from Trumps campaign by solving it.
He can give them back what they gave to him.
