"White House Rejects Johnson's Meeting Requests on Ukraine and Border Issues"

House Speaker Mike Johnson's requests for a one-on-one meeting with President Joe Biden to discuss aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and border security have been rejected by the White House. The White House press secretary pointed to Johnson's shifting positions on foreign aid and border security, and his rejection of bipartisan Senate deals. Johnson's requests for a meeting have been declined multiple times, with the White House expressing exasperation and accusing him of negotiating with himself. The Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill, but Johnson opposed it for not including border changes. The White House urged Johnson to bring the bill to the floor, emphasizing the urgent need for Ukraine aid as its fight against Russia's invasion continues.
