Republican senators persuade Trump behind closed doors… “Ukraine must win to repay aid.” While House Speaker Mike Johnson, who led the passage of the security budget package bill to support Ukraine and other countries in the US House of Representatives, faces the risk of being fired due to a backlash from some in his party, the former -President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, has replaced Johnson as Speaker He went out to support. Accordingly, it is predicted that it has become more difficult for some of the Republican hardliners to push for the dismissal of Chairman Johnson, who is considered a ‘pro-Trump figure.’
In an interview with John Frederick Radio the night before, former President Trump said of the House’s handling of the Ukraine and other security assistance budget bills, “We’re the majority party, but that doesn’t mean the he (Chairman Johnson) can do whatever. he wants.” Politico, a political media outlet, reported on the 23rd (local time).
“He’s a very good person. He strongly supported me when I said that NATO should pay more,” he said. “I think he is trying hard.”
Former President Trump, who follows a so-called isolationist foreign policy, has expressed a negative stance on America’s unilateral support for Ukraine.
Last February, when the Senate was processing a budget bill for aid to Ukraine, he actually opposed it, saying, “We should no longer give money without any conditions or expectation of getting it back.” Nevertheless, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) assessed that former President Trump’s decision to reappoint Chairman Johnson was mainly due to strategic support from Republican senators, Chairman Johnson’s visit to former President Trump, and partial changes to an aid budget bill Ukraine.
Previously, while the House of Representatives processed a total of $60.8 billion in Ukraine’s aid budget, it reflected $9.5 billion in economic aid in the form of a ‘forgivable loan’ rather than a grant, which is consistent with the idea raised by the former President. Trump reported.
In this regard, Republican Senators Lindsey Graham (South Carolina) and Kevin Cramer (North Dakota) had a group phone call with former President Trump and an economic aid package in the form of a loan to Ukraine as if they had borrowed the idea of the former President Trump. , the newspaper said former President Trump used a strategy to get him to accept it. In the process, these senators told former President Trump that Ukraine has the potential to become a rich country that can repay its debt because it is rich in resources, and that it is only by defeating Russia that Ukraine would be able to repay as most of its resources are within territory occupied by Russia WSJ quoted a source as saying that it was emphasized that.
Separately, Chairman Johnson personally visited Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump’s residence, on the 12th.
Former President Trump later posted on social networking services (SNS) that “the existence of Ukraine is important to the United States as well.”
As former President Trump announces his renewed confidence in Chairman Johnson, there is a greater possibility that hard-line Republican campaigners in the House of Representatives for a decision to remove the Chairman will be a ‘typhoon in a teacup’ in eventually.
So far, two legislators other than Rep. Green have expressed their support for the dismissal resolution promoted by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia).
However, the majority of Republican lawmakers believe that Chairman Johnson should remain in office despite complaints about the handling of the security assistance budget package bill, congressional media outlet The Hill reported. Rep. Bob Good (Virginia), chairman of the Freedom Caucus, a hardline group of House Republicans, said, “My view is that now is not the time to do that.”
