This suggests that this is not a security issue - it is pure politics. And this is, frankly, a disgrace to the world and a disgrace to democracy and to all those who only talk about democracy. If the Congress, after all that has happened, divides this aid into Israeli and Ukrainian aid, it means that this is a matter of elections in the United States. It's just pure politics, now that the whole world is saying how could Iran attack Israel? We should now populistically help Israel and forget what is happening in Ukraine. This means that no one cares how many people die in Ukraine every day. They care about their ratings
He emphasized that if Ukraine falls and there is a war with other NATO member states, and there is a war, then US soldiers will defend themselves and die.
And Congress should not think about pushing these political issues of support in Ukraine. I think we should vote to help all countries whose lives depend on it
The President emphasized that he had met twice with Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, who emphasized support for Ukraine.
Addendum
US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson unveiled his plan to support allies, introducing four separate bills to help Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other national security priorities.
Recall
