The expert added that House Speaker Mike Johnson is indicating that he is not ready to consider this bill until the migrant crisis is resolved.
“But we understand that opinions may change depending on how much pressure is put on him and how this is all discussed. So far the situation is 50/50,” explained RT’s interlocutor.
In his opinion, you need to understand that those tranches for Ukraine that even theoretically America could allocate are, as the speaker put it, “a shadow of their former greatness.”
“$60 billion is allocated, but $30 billion of this immediately goes to the Pentagon to replenish reserves, and only $15 billion for new military tranches to the Kyiv regime. Moreover, this is expected until September 2025. That is, less than $1 billion monthly... But this is what, in Washington’s opinion, should help maintain the Ukrainian front so that it does not collapse in the near future, because this will bury Biden’s presidency,” the political scientist believes.
Earlier, US senators voted for a bill to provide aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. 70 senators voted in favor, 29 against.
