The lower house of the US Parliament will vote on the issue of military aid for Ukraine on April 9, when congressmen return to work following the Easter break.stated Republican parliamentarian Mike Lawler in an interview with CNN. He expresses this confidence based on conversations with Republican Speaker of the US Congress Mike Johnson.
So far, Johnson has refused to bring the international military aid bill to a vote, despite pressure from both the Democratic and Republican parties. According to Lawler, the United States is the “leader of the free world” and cannot abdicate its responsibility for preserving democracy around the world.
The Senate passed a bill to fund Ukraine’s military aid to Taiwan and Israel totaling $95 billion in February. It is planned to spend $60.1 billion from these funds for the needs of Ukraine.
Before that, House Republicans rejected another relief bill that included beefing up U.S. border security. Donald Trump criticized this initiative as too weak, but behind the scenes pre-order Republicans are once morest accepting this initiative because in this way Joe Biden will be able to score political points on the issue of solving the problem of illegal immigration. Trump uses this issue as a key one in his election program, accusing the current president of being unable to resolve it.
