After Iran's attack: US assistance from the United States can vote this week - Johnson

The Speaker of the House of Congress has neither confirmed or denied the fact that the Assistance Package to Ukraine could be voted together with the help of Iraeli. Johnson stated that "the details of the package are going. " On Sunday, April 14, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, Mike Johnson, confirmed Congress plans to consider this week a package of funding for Israel's assistance after the Iranian attack. He said this on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News.

"This week we will try again, and the details of this package are going right now," Johnson said, without revealing the details. Answering the presenter's questions about the approval of Kiev, the speaker of the House of Representatives said: "We will send our package - we will put something together and send it to the Senate. " However, Johnson never clarified whether the package would be combined with the help of Israel and whether it will be voted this week.

He also reminded that former US President Donald Trump supports the provision of loans to Kiev instead of grants and the use of Russian assets to pay for new assistance. Johnson believes that these elements can become part of the package. "I think these ideas can get a consensus," the speaker said.

Bloombeg writes that Johnson may threaten the removal from a Republican from Georgia Margor Taylor Green if he allows a vote on assistance to Ukraine before new migration restrictions are introduced across the Southern US Southern border. However, on Friday, April 12, the speaker received decisive support from Trump, who spoke against any attempt to eliminate Johnson.
