House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that no additional aid should be provided to Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Johnson emphasized that the decision to allocate further aid to Ukraine should rest with Trump once he assumes the presidency in January, Breitbart News reported.
“As we predicted and as I said to all of you weeks before the election, if Donald Trump is elected,
it will change the dynamic of the Russian war on Ukraine, and we’re seeing that happen,” the Louisiana leader of the House said during a House Republican leadership press conference.
He stated that Trump’s electoral victory will alter the dynamic of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“So it is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now. We have a newly elected president, and we’re going to wait and take the new commander-in-chief’s direction on all that, so I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now,” Johnson added.
