WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Newly elected U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said on Thursday that funding to support Ukraine and Israel should be handled separately, suggesting he will not back President Biden's $106 billion aid package for both countries.
Johnson, who was speaking in an interview on Fox News, said he met with Biden on Thursday and said he told White House staff "our consensus among House Republicans is we need to bifurcate those issues."
Biden wants Congress to provide $106 billion in supplemental funding, with the bulk of the money going to bolster Ukraine's defenses and the remainder split among Israel, Indo-Pacific and border enforcement.

Now, will he adhere to the Supreme Imperative and refuse to put a bill on the floor that is opposed by the majority of Republican members?
I believe he will be true.
And it kills all Ukraine aid.
Ruhhh roh, Ukraine.
No!
Just saw a clip of him speaking on Ukraine. More of the same folks!
New speaker just said (interview on twitter sorry no link: “We can’t let Putin prevail in Ukraine because we know he won’t stop there.” Jeez. Sounds like another Vietnam. Well that didn’t take long.
It’s OK for him to have that opinion as long as he adheres to the Supreme Imperative.
If he violates that he’ll be out just like McCarthy.
i’ve checked the couch cushions, ain’t got none to give.
We need to draft Gen Z trannies, females, and non whites for our wars.
White males have been inequitable with respect to war deaths.
>> And it kills all Ukraine aid.
Not just that... I think it also kills that money for funding illegals and shipping them all over the country.
That’s fine. I’m glad they are doing this. It will save untold young Ukrainian lives. They next question is whether DC will allow Ukraine to go back to the negotiating table and sign that deal they had worked out spring of ‘22 with the Russians?
Outstanding!
BooYaa - I support funding both, but hold separate votes - Let America decide
“And it kills all Ukraine aid.”
I think half a million dead Ukrainians and Russians should satisfy the blood lust of Victoria Nuland and most of the other Neocons, at least for a few months.
Are we winning?
Depends. Who is “we” and what is “winning”?
Then deny both of them.
Maybe $1 border, $1 Ukraine, $10 Israel. A good ratio.
Well, I understood all funding bills must originate in the House....
RE: Funding request split....
Joe Biden: Finally. A Republican with good sense. A split with 10% to me personally would get through the House and Senate just fine. Hunter will text my bank in Antigua.
Gut a Senate bill thats already passed that chamber
Change the wording...
it’s now a Senate spending bill without the House weighing in yet
That’s how we got Obamacare, IIRC
