WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden's re-election campaign accused former President Donald Trump of obstructing efforts to provide Border Patrol with necessary resources to combat the flow of fentanyl and enhance border security, reported Newsmax.

Biden campaign's rapid response director, Ammar Moussa, pointed fingers at the Republican frontrunner for standing in the way of securing the US-Mexico border, which is struggling with an influx of illegal migrants.

"Donald Trump always puts himself and his dangerous pursuit of power first — even if it means defunding the Border Patrol. Donald Trump's role is clear as day: He is personally standing in the way of giving Border Patrol the resources it needs to stop the flow of fentanyl and secure the border," Moussa claimed.

Trump opposed the long-sought bipartisan border bill released on February 4, calling it a "Death Wish" for the Republican party. However, the $118 billion national security deal failed to survive the Senate floor on February 7 as GOP senators voted against it.

Joe Biden blames Donald Trump for border deal failure

As the border crisis intensifies and takes center stage in the 2024 presidential election, potentially featuring a rematch between Biden and Trump, the incumbent faces high stakes with the collapse of the border deal in the Senate.

Responding to the upper chamber's decision to block the bill, Biden pointed out the only reason behind it was Trump.

"Donald Trump thinks it's bad for him politically. Therefore, he doesn't — even though it would help the — the country, he's not for it. He'd rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it," the President argued.

He also accused the former President of lobbying the Congressional Republicans to vote against the bill.

"For the last 24 hours he's done nothing, I'm told, but reach out to Republicans in the House and the Senate and threaten them and try to intimidate them to vote against this proposal," Biden said.

"It looks like they're caving. Frankly, they owe it to the American people to show some spine and do what they know to be right."
