MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy denied the existence of a secret deal on Ukraine aid between him and US President Joe Biden made to provide temporary government funding.
"No, that's not true at all. There is no side deal with President Biden," McCarthy said in an interview with the Newsmax broadcaster late on Monday.
McCarthy added that he had not spoken with the president for months.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre earlier on Monday declined to provide details of the alleged deal between Biden and McCarthy, neither confirming nor denying its existence.
