"Biden Threatens Border Shutdown Over Congressional Deal"
President Biden supports a bipartisan Senate border deal that would grant him the authority to shut down the southern border when overwhelmed, urging lawmakers to pass the "toughest and fairest" reforms. The deal faces objections from both right and left, with former President Trump also attempting to derail it. Pressure is mounting on Biden to address the US-Mexico border as he prepares for potential re-election, with immigration being a central issue. The deal is also tied to further aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with Senate negotiators working to win approval from House colleagues.
