The meeting with Zelensky comes at a time when the US administration is trying to increase pressure on Congress, where there is a blockade on the approval of a new aid package for Ukraine in the war with Russia.
The United States is currently the largest provider of military support to Kiev, with approved support worth more than 110 billion dollars since the invasion of Russia in February 2022.
Congress is blocking a more than $106 billion package that Biden has persistently requested, which includes funds for Ukraine and Israel.
Republican Party elected officials are demanding significant concessions on US immigration policy in exchange for their votes.
Zelensky, who began a working visit to the United States on Monday, reaffirmed, already on North American soil, the need for Kiev to receive more funds to defend itself once morest Russia, stressing that any delay in aid to Ukraine “is a dream come true” for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
