The president appealed to the Low camerawith a Republican majority, to approve these legislative initiatives this week so that the Senatecontrolled by Democrats, can give them progress.”quickly”And he can enact them into law.
“I will sign them into law immediately and send a message to the world: we stand with our friends and will not allow Iran or Russia to win.”Biden emphasized.
The attack of Will against Israel this weekend, the first Tehran launched directly into Israeli territory, changed the debate in US Congress about a foreign aid package that had been stalled for months.
For months, Johnson refused to put to a vote the foreign aid package that Biden had requested because the tougher wing of the Republican party opposes approving more military aid for Ukraineposition that the former president has promoted donald trump (2017-2021), future candidate for the November elections.
However, Iran’s attack put pressure on Johnson to at least move forward with aid to Israel, the US’s main ally in Middle East and which enjoys wide support among Republicans.
Monday, michael johnson announced a new plan: instead of allowing the Lower House to vote on the $95 billion aid package IsraelUkraine and Taiwan approved in February by the Senate, announced that it would present four different legislative projects to vote separately on aid for each.

Those four bills will likely be voted on Saturday night, Johnson said Wednesday.
In addition to aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, one of the projects includes a proposal that would oblige TikTok separate from its parent company in China or be banned in the United States.
In any case, to carry out aid to Ukraine, Johnson will need the support of the Democratic opposition, which could cost him his position, as happened with his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.
