Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) huddled with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Capitol on Wednesday, with future support for the country being a focal point for world leaders in D.C. for the NATO summit.

Why it matters: The meeting marks the first time the two have met in person since Johnson put his own political career at risk by putting a sweeping foreign aid package on the floor in April.

8
No more money.

It's nice to know the events that led up to WW III.
16
We as American should have the right to know everything that goes on behind closed doors. That’s why we pay taxes.
8
NO MORE MONEY!!!!! Our open borders need shut down first. Our homeless need help first. Isreal needs help first. Let other countries in NATO step in since it seems Ukraine has been included.
7
Johnson is just working out the percentage of the money he gets when he makes sure Ukraine gets more money
5
No money from taxpayers!!!!

"GIve mee money, wife need new Bugatti!!"

Waste of Taxpayers time.

How much does he want this time
16
The fact that Johnson even has this criminal in our House of rep is repulsive! Upon up our bank and hand more billions over.
1
NATO will throw every last Ukrainian into the front lines before they risk any of their own troops. Is it worth it?
5
Johnson is looking for the exit… to Moscow.

Hey Mike, your a sell out joke!!!!

What country taxes the hell out of its people and sends the money to others countries

Give me money give me money - we lose war.

SLAVA UKRAINE GOP 2024 I’m a Republican that remembers the Reagan era. What are you?

Mike needs to tell these jokers they have no chance of "Winning". The gravy train is about over. Largest transfer of wealth in US history.

Yes 74.6 % of money are still in America, to build modern weapons and create jobs here but I absolutely agree with the defenders of freedom:NATO today looks like an 82-year-old baby boomer who has been suffering from Parkinson's disease for 10 years and has been hanging medal of freedom around his own neck. He forgot that his mission is to fight Russian aggression .
1
Will there be joyous celebrations all over the Ukraine when Zelensky leaves with his cut of the money, or are there not enough living adult Ukrainians left to raise a toast to his hasty departure?
1
Ask him why is he kidnapping civilians and enroll them to go to war
2
Selinsky well gladly give up Ukrainian lives for American cash . I wonder what the big guy's cut is
3
Again the dancer is in the house, how much is he getting today ????
3
One of these guys has an army that has taken half a million Russians out of the game and the other pisses his pants when a journalist asks him a question.
JOHNSON, WITH ALL THE PROBLENS WE FACE AND THAT YOU SHOUD BE PLACING ALL YOUR ATTENTION TO, I WOULD THINK YOU WOULDN'T BE WASTING YOUR VALUEABLE TIME TALKING WITH THIS CRIMNAL FROM UKRAINE !!!!!
3
I hope he was asking for our money back? Defund Ukraine!
Ok, Speaker Johnson, I have been supportive so far, but, the last aid bill to Ukraine ordered that the President / Administration MUST state some sort of strategic vision: What are our goals beyond a cessation of hostilities? All Russian forces out of Ukraine? Does that include Crimea? Just how do we and our allies and the Ukies get there? What will it really take? What do we get out of it / what is the future, short term and long term, if we fail? Even General Ben Hodges, a huge supporter of Ukraine, has repeatedly stated this sort of clarity of purpose needs to be presented. Lack of this was one of your main complaints, too. You must hold this Administration's feet to the fire!
About aging time!!!
Goddamn puppets I can't believe ppl in Ukraine think they are fighting for democracy
We can only hope that when America gets attacked by China that Ukraine will have the courtesy to repay us the money back. China of course still holds trillions of U.S. dollars as leverage. We're getting into very dangerous brinkmanship here. The calculus is a logistical nightmare.
this is insane to have this actor, fake, corrupt grifter even in our country, let alone meeting with the House speaker. This grift is a sham.
