"House Speaker Negotiates with White House for Ukraine Aid Amid Russia-Ukraine Conflict"
TL;DR
House Speaker Mike Johnson is negotiating with the White House to advance Ukraine and Israel aid through the House, facing challenges from a divided Republican conference and pressure from Democrats. Johnson is seeking to deviate from the Senate's foreign security package and include Republican demands, while also consulting with former President Trump for support. The situation is complicated by divisions within the Republican party and Democratic concerns about providing offensive weaponry to Israel amid its campaign in Gaza.
