WASHINGTON, United States - President Joe Biden and European Union leaders delivered a message of unity Friday on the Israel-Hamas and Ukraine wars, despite worries that political paralysis in Washington could hamper US aid for its allies."These conflicts show democracies must stand together," European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told reporters as she and European Council chief Charles Michel met Biden at the White House.
Biden -- who on Thursday drew a direct link between the two conflicts as he urged Americans to back a $106 billion aid package including military assistance for Ukraine and Israel -- said the EU and US"stood together." EU leaders were looking for reassurance of continued US support for Ukraine, which is fighting to repel the Russian invasion launched in February 2022.The joint statement released at the conclusion of the summit noted the two sides were"concerned by the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza."
Congress also faces a November 17 deadline to act on the budget, so as to avoid a possible government shutdown. While they were suspended in 2021 under Biden, they could be reactivated if no agreement is reached by year's end.
