President Biden unites NATO allies abroad, as Speaker McCarthy grapples with Republican divides in the House
President Biden returns to Washington after a successful and historic trip abroad, where he negotiated Sweden’s accession to NATO, and smoothed over tensions surrounding Ukraine’s pathway to membership of the security alliance.
Back at home, Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy faced another high-stakes test, as rebellious Republicans demanded controversial, hot-button amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, potentially making it harder for the must-pass bill to become law.
