Republican Speaker Johnson demands that the White House formulate an "end goal" for allocating funds to Ukraine
He wants a clear picture of how U.S. aid is spent
US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, is demanding that President Joe Biden's administration clearly articulate the ultimate strategic goal of supporting Ukraine before asking Congress to approve a new military aid package for Kyiv.
Source. Johnson said this in an interview with CBS.
According to the speaker, it is important to have a clear idea of how American aid is spent. "The United States has $34 trillion in federal debt, and this is a very serious thing," the spokesman said.
He accused the Biden administration of failing to respond to his repeated inquiries about the goals of aid to Ukraine.
Republicans in the U.S. Congress are linking the approval of military aid to Ukraine to a resolution of the migration crisis on the border with Mexico. The issue of illegal immigration has become one of the main issues in the US presidential election campaign.
President Biden's administration intends to provide Ukraine with $61 billion in military aid, but this requires the approval of both houses of Congress.
Background. Today, Joe Biden announced that the US Congress has reached an agreement to provide $1.66 trillion for government operations in 2024, paving the way for a vote on $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.
