Johnson Seeks to Separate Ukraine, Israel Aid; Questions Biden's Endgame in Supporting Allies

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson says funding requests for Ukraine and Israel should be separate.

Johnson believes splitting the requests could impede Biden's efforts to ensure support for both allies.

The White House had combined $160B in aid for Ukraine and Israel, but Johnson wants accountability on prior Ukraine spending.

Johnson says the U.S. won't abandon Ukraine but wants to know the objectives and end game there.

Johnson aims to propose a $14.5B aid package for Israel, slightly larger than the $14.3B Biden requested.
