House Speaker Mike Johnson is currently in negotiations with the White House to advance wartime funding for Ukraine and Israel through the House, according to House Republican Leader Steve Scalise. The proposed package would differ from the Senate's $95 billion foreign security package and include various Republican demands. Johnson has been deliberating on the timing to move forward with aid that would supply much-needed ammunition and weaponry for Kyiv.
Scalise mentioned that no agreement has been reached yet, emphasizing the necessity of reaching an agreement not only with the White House but also with House members. Johnson, who faces challenges within the Republican conference regarding support for Ukraine, is also navigating differing views from presidential contenders on the U.S.'s global stance.
