U.S. Congress

The U.S. Congress, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, is the legislative branch of the United States government, responsible for creating laws. It is newsworthy due to its role in ratifying international agreements. Recent news focuses on a U.S. security guarantee document for Ukraine, which Ukrainian President Zelenskyy states is "100% ready" for signing. The agreement requires ratification by the U.S. Congress before it can take effect. This highlights Congress's significant role in shaping U.S. foreign policy and its involvement in international security matters, particularly concerning the ongoing situation in Ukraine. The timing and potential approval of this agreement are of considerable international interest.
