If it is approved by the Republican-majority House, the batch of texts to be released this Wednesday will be examined by the Democratic-majority Senate.
The U.S. House of Representatives will vote on Saturday on separate texts to defund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, the body's Republican chairman, Mike Johnson, said Wednesday.“We expect the final vote on these bills to take place on Saturday evening.”He wrote in a letter to elected officials, consulted by AFP.
Elected officials will vote on four texts, which have yet to be revealed. This includes aid to Ukraine “Loan Method of Assistance”, the President pointed out. Congress, embroiled in partisan disputes and at war with Russia since February 2022, has been fighting for months over whether to accept Kiev funding.
Biden op-ed
US President Joe Biden has repeatedly urged elected officials to adopt a military and humanitarian aid package without delay. On Wednesday morning, he reiterated his call in a column in the Wall Street Journal. US House of Representatives “Urgent Acceptance” The proposed legislation on new aid to Ukraine and Israel and humanitarian aid to Gaza is called for by the Democratic leader. “While both countries are capable of defending their own sovereignty, they are dependent on US aid, including arms. We are at a critical juncture.”He wrote in the newspaper.
The White House offered cautious support for these new plans on Tuesday. Before President Joe Biden gave his open support for the texts. “Ukraine and Israel are both under attack from ruthless enemies who want to destroy them”He said on his forum.
Russian President Vladimir Putin “Wants to subjugate the Ukrainian people and absorb their nation into a new Russian Empire”He said he believed that “The Iranian government wants to destroy Israel and thus destroy the world's only Jewish state forever”. “America should never accept any of these decisions.”Joe Biden insisted.
Censorship Movement
Ukraine is running low on ammunition and running out of US funds in its war against Russia. Israel, for its part, faced a direct and unprecedented attack from Iran from Saturday night into Sunday night, amid heightened regional tensions.
A $60 billion package of military and economic aid to Ukraine was passed by the Senate in February. But Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to consider the speech — because of, among other things, the issue of immigration.
If it is approved by the Republican-majority House, the batch of texts to be released Wednesday will be examined by the Democratic-majority Senate and then could reach Joe Biden's desk for a declaration. Mike Johnson's announcement was rejected by some of his Republican colleagues, reviving the possibility of a resolution of impeachment and a new crisis in the House. His predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, was ousted last year after a revolt by the Trump wing of his party.
