Critics argue that, apart from President Joe Biden&#8217;s open border policy, no other federal initiative has been as indefensible. Engaging in a proxy war with a nuclear power like Russia under the pretense of protecting another nation&#8217;s borders seems irrational. During a recent news conference, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged that Trump&#8217;s election will significantly alter U.S. support for Ukraine, leaving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a difficult position. The Biden administration had requested an additional $24 billion in aid for Ukraine as part of an urgent spending bill needed by December 20 to prevent a government shutdown; however, Johnson indicated that such requests are inappropriate now that there is an incoming president. He stated he does not anticipate any new funding for Ukraine under Biden&#8217;s administration and emphasized waiting for direction from Trump regarding future decisions on this matter. Many Trump supporters strongly oppose further military assistance to Ukraine, viewing it as neglecting domestic issues while prioritizing foreign interests. Additionally, concerns have been raised about NATO&#8217;s expansion and its implications in the region. Despite past backing for Ukrainian funding, Johnson seems to recognize that the political landscape has shifted with Trump&#8217;s victory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2377132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Johnson-v-Zelenskyy.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7629,34218,5894,6991,10724],"class_list":["post-2377131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-aid","tag-mike-johnson","tag-politics","tag-ukraine","tag-zelenskyy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Johnson-v-Zelenskyy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2377131"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2377135,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377131\/revisions\/2377135"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2377132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2377131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2377131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2377131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
