WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday it would be “practically impossible” for Congress to pass a supplemental funding package including aid for Ukraine before Christmas.
McConnell told reporters that a deal will not happen until President Joe Biden reaches agreement with Republicans, who want to link funding for Ukraine to new border security measures.
