Let's hope he is a better speaker than Kevin. Puts the GOP representatives on notice. The MAGA wing of the party is in more control than the Romney Rinos.
As reported on "The Hill".
Johnson made a strong statement in support of Ukraine in its effort to fight back against Russia in the wake of the invasion in February 2022.
“We should impose debilitating sanctions on Russia’s economic interests,” Johnson said in the statement, posted to X, the platform then known as Twitter. “We should return to robust American energy production to provide greater stability and security here and for our European allies. We should exclude Russia from global commerce and international institutions. Even though the best time to take these actions has passed, we must act decisively.”
“America’s prayers remain with the Ukrainian people,” Johnson continued.
In April 2022, he voted for The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022, a bill that aimed to ease the process for the U.S. to send military aid to Ukraine. The bill was later signed by President Biden and became law.
However, in recent times, he has taken a skeptical stance toward aid for Ukraine. He voted against two different appropriations bills that provided aid to Ukraine, one in 2022 and another last month.
“American taxpayers have sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine in the last year,” Johnson said in an X post in February. “They deserve to know if the Ukrainian government is being entirely forthcoming and transparent about the use of this massive sum of taxpayer resources.”
After gaining the gavel, Johnson was asked whether he supports additional aid to Ukraine.
“We all do…we are going to have conditions on that, so we’re working through,” Johnson said while walking through the Capitol, in a clip posted Wednesday to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“We want accountability, and we want objectives that are clear from the White House,“ Johnson later said in response to a question about what the conditions would be.
