This letter has sparked a strong response from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who\u2064 emphasized the need for fiscal \u200dresponsibility and addressing the border \u200bcrisis as part of any deal for additional Ukraine aid. Johnson criticized the Biden administration for failing to address concerns about the lack of a \u2063clear \u2063strategy in Ukraine and the accountability for aid provided by \u2064American taxpayers.
