March 27, 2024 - WASHINGTON, DC - House Speaker Mike Johnson has revealed his plans to secure additional foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel. Johnson, previously a Trump-following Ukraine-skeptic, is now a supporter of providing financial assistance to both nations.
Johnson presented two legislative options to allocate more funding for Ukraine. The first option would provide $10 billion in emergency funding through the Pentagon, while the second would allocate $20 billion through the State Department.
"We must show our unwavering support for Ukraine as it fights for its sovereignty and independence against Russian aggression," Johnson said. "This funding will provide critical resources to the Ukrainian people as they defend their homeland."
The House Speaker also expressed support for increasing aid to Israel, citing the country's strong defense ties with the United States. "Israel is a key ally in the Middle East, and we must continue to support them in their efforts to maintain regional stability," Johnson said.
Johnson's foreign aid plans have drawn mixed reactions. Some lawmakers have praised his commitment to supporting Ukraine and Israel, while others have expressed concerns about the potential cost and effectiveness of such assistance.
The House is expected to vote on the proposed legislation in the coming weeks. If approved, the funding would be used to provide military equipment, humanitarian aid, and other support to Ukraine and Israel.
