House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, stated that lawmakers plan to make another attempt at passing an aid bill for Israel. He mentioned that they are considering different options for supplemental issues, which includes funding for both Israel and Ukraine. Johnson emphasized that he and former President Donald Trump are fully aligned on these important agenda items. He referred to Trump’s suggestion of converting some of the aid for Ukraine into a loan and the REPO Act, which proposes seizing assets of Russian oligarchs to support Ukraine.
