The Speaker of the House of Representatives believes that we need to wait for a new president.
US Representative Mike Johnson
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that he does not intend to put a bill on $24 billion in military support for Ukraine next year to a vote.
According to European Pravda, the Republican explains his actions by the fact that “the election of Donald Trump as president changes the dynamics of the Russian war against Ukraine. According to Johnson, the current head of state until January 20, Joe Biden, who filed request for funds to be allocated to parliament, “can no longer make such decisions.”
The speaker calls for “waiting for the inauguration of the newly elected president to receive instructions on this issue from the new commander in chief.”
- Joe Biden sent Congress a document last week on $24 billion for Ukraine in 2025.
- Mike Johnson was able to be re-elected to the House of Representatives during the November elections.
