Mike Johnson Treads Carefully on Ukraine

April 9, 2024 · 6:22 am ET · Leave a Comment

Punchbowl News: “We’re told that Johnson, at this point, isn’t likely to unveil his Ukraine aid proposal this week. The plan — which will include provisions such as the REPO Act to use seized Russian assets, as well as language overturning the Biden administration’s ban on new LNG export applications — isn’t ready to go yet. Johnson is expected to take the next several days to meet with colleagues on this issue.”

“Johnson could face a motion to vacate over Ukraine, so he and other House GOP leaders are proceeding gingerly — to say the least.”
