US President Joe Biden’s administration expresses its concern about the delays in the discussion and voting of a support package for Ukraine in the House of Representatives. This delay is particularly worrying, he writes, given the shortage of American military aid that Ukraine is currently experiencing Policy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to hold a vote on the Ukraine issue, but the White House is still unclear about the new Republican leader’s positions and approach to negotiations, sources cited in the release said.
The article notes that Johnson’s actions disappointed Democrats as funding for Ukraine reached a “crisis point.” Democrats hope that after Thanksgiving, the House will begin debating Biden’s request for comprehensive aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other U.S. strategic national security partners.
But Republicans, who control the House of Representatives and Johnson himself, have only three weeks until the Christmas recess, and it is unclear whether they will have time to discuss and convey the issue in time. In light of this situation, the White House is paying tribute to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was previously impeached with the support of Democrats in the House of Representatives.
However, congressmen speaking in interviews with the publication admit that both parties largely support funding Ukraine. So it’s up to Speaker Johnson to decide.
Previously, the House of Representatives approved the draft US budget without the aid to Ukraine and Israel proposed by President Johnson. This document envisages two-stage financing of government programs; Some of these relate to transportation, energy and military construction and will be funded by January 19, and funds for other government sectors will be allocated by February 2.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized the bill, saying it was a meaningless proposal and a source of further chaos.
