U.S. President Joe Biden reacted sharply to representatives of the Republican Party in the Senate after refusing to support a bill to help Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and new funding for border protection, CNN said.
"I never thought I would see something like what we are seeing now on Capitol Hill," the publication said, citing the words of the U.S. president.
Biden blamed former President Donald Trump for calling and "threatening" lawmakers with "retribution" if they supported the package, which also included more U.S. funding for Ukraine and Israel, CNN said.
According to the head of state, the Republicans did this because "they have got Donald Trump calling and threatening them."
As reported, the U.S. Senate did not support a bill to help Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as well as new funding for border protection, The Hill said.
