CNN is wary. that Trump will put an end to aid to Ukraine with one post on the social network
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson may allow the introduction of a bill providing for the resumption of military support for Ukraine.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, writes CNN.
“Speaker Mike Johnson quickly torpedoed a bipartisan Ukraine aid package proposed by the Senate, but left the door open for a new proposal to emerge in the House.
Behind the scenes, Johnson met privately with House Republicans who were trying to win support for a new bipartisan foreign aid package that includes restrictions on the U.S. border with Mexico. And now House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul is taking the lead in trying to finalize the proposal and reach conference consensus as part of a push for a decision by the end of March or April.
Johnson has yet to take a position on the plan or commit to voting for it, telling his colleagues they need to finalize government funding legislation first.
“But once that process is completed by mid-March, Republican supporters of the plan believe it will allow him to reach the podium—even that risks backlash from far-right members or even a vote to remove him from his position as speaker,” it continues. agency.
However, it is further noted that passing the law through the House of Representatives remains an extremely difficult task.
“Republicans are deeply divided on Ukraine, and former President Donald Trump could effectively kill a bill with one social media post. It would also require broad Democratic support to pass, a tall order given that the package includes new border restrictions and aid to Israel that would likely provoke opposition from the left.
