 Biden must present a Ukraine plan, Republican leader. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden must clearly outline its end goals in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and how any further funds will be spent. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said, as the White House desperately needs congressional approval to maintain the flow of weapons to Kiev. The U.S. must secure its own border before it secures anyone else's, Johnson stated in an interview with CBS. This echoes the main focus of House Republicans' opposition to the combined aid package pushed for Biden in October 2023, over $60 billion of which was for Kiev. Republicans at the time insisted unlocking their support for the package behind funding for stricter border controls with neighboring Mexico. Blocking the bill last year was a Republican message to the White House that they were not being clear with the American people. Johnson explained, What is the end game in Ukraine? What is our strategy? What is the objective? How will we have proper oversight over these precious taxpayer dollars? In order to send more money to Ukraine, the U.S. effectively has to borrow it from somewhere else. Johnson said, noting that federal debt has reached $34 trillion. What we're saying is, let's do this in a rational manner. We need accountability for the people who are funding that, he added. The White House has not been forthcoming with those answers. The situation with Ukraine aid is nothing short of dire. Shalanda Young, the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget told journalists last week she warned that without congressional support for supplemental funding, the U.S. may have to stop assistance altogether.
