Congress halts Ukraine aid as new administration takes charge
Quote:
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, stated that Congress will not pass a new aid package for Ukraine in the coming weeks, as Joe Biden's administration proposed. Johnson announced that he would wait for Donald Trump to be sworn in and for his instructions.
Biden's administration requested the inclusion of $24 billion in the budget to support Ukraine, of which $16 billion was to replenish the US arsenals, and $8 billion for purchasing new weapons for Kyiv. Johnson stated that the situation in Ukraine is changing rapidly and decisions on this matter should belong to the new president.
"I do not plan to do this. I think changes are occurring every hour in Ukraine, and—as we predicted, and as I told you all a few weeks before the elections—if Donald Trump is elected, it will change the dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine war. And we are seeing that happening. So it's not Joe Biden's role to make such decisions," said Johnson during a press conference.
"We have a newly elected president, we will wait and follow the guidance of the new commander-in-chief. Therefore, I do not expect any funding for Ukraine right now," he added.
