Smith Blasts Johnson's Plan to Split Ukraine Aid into Separate Bills, Warning it Will Boil Ukraine to Death Slowly

• Democratic Rep. Adam Smith said he is “deeply concerned” about Speaker Mike Johnson’s new plan for foreign aid, calling it a “convoluted process” that will “boil Ukraine to death slowly”

• Johnson unveiled a plan to move foreign aid through the House via 4 separate bills, after months of delay due to GOP divisions

• The aid includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other national security priorities

• Smith said Ukraine is “close to the edge” and needs weapons support urgently to defend itself against Russia

• The Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid package combining the funds, but Johnson declined to bring that bill to the House floor
