President Biden invited congressional leaders to a meeting at the White House on Wednesday to discuss his funding request for Ukraine, Israel and the border, which has been stalled for weeks on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Biden’s request for the $110.5 billion package has been held up by Republicans who are demanding a new crackdown at the border in exchange for their votes.
The president and his aides have warned that failing to approve funding could hand a victory to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, whose forces invaded Ukraine two years ago. The United States authorized the last of its assistance for Ukraine at the end of December.
Asked whether Mr. Biden’s invitation signaled that the White House had something new to offer Republicans, Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, told reporters that negotiations were “ongoing.”
“We believe it’s going well, and we want to see a bipartisan agreement,” she said. “The president understands that what we see at the border, the immigration system more broadly, has been broken for decades.”
