Biden urges Congress to pass border, foreign aid package: Watch live

NOTE: This event has been delayed. The video stream above will begin when the broadcast is live.

President Biden is making a direct appeal for Congress to act on the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act during a midday appearance at the White House.

The Senate-approved legislation, unveiled Sunday, would allow for funding both for border security and several international aid measures, including assistance to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has expressed disapproval of the bill, a view shared by other prominent GOP House members. Some Senate Republicans, in turn, have shown frustration at the refusal of their conservative colleagues to accept a compromise.

As the crisis on migration policy remains highly visible at the border and across the U.S., Biden is under pressure from state and local leaders of both parties to find a way forward.

He is expected to speak at 11:45 a.m. EST.
