"House GOP Speaker Johnson Stalls $95B Ukraine Aid Package Approval"

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the House will not be rushed to approve the $95.3 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies, signaling a further delay in sending military hardware and munitions to Ukraine. The remarks from Johnson, who leads a far-right majority, cast doubt on the approval of the aid package, despite its bipartisan support in the Senate. President Biden and Defense Secretary Austin have both emphasized the importance of providing aid to Ukraine, while some lawmakers are considering using a discharge petition to force a House vote on the bill.
