More aid to Ukraine must be coupled with “transformative” border security reforms, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Tuesday.
Johnson sent a formal letter response to the White House one day after Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young warned Congress that the $111 billion in supplemental funds previously allocated to Ukraine for its fight against Russia are running out.
Congressional Republicans demand the “enactment of transformative change to our nation’s border security laws,” Johnson wrote, adding that he made this position clear weeks ago when he visited the White House shortly after he became speaker.
