House Speaker Questions Foreign Aid Bill Over Lack of Border Security Funding
• House Speaker Mike Johnson warned he may not bring up the $95B Senate foreign aid bill for a vote because it does not address border security
• The Senate bill provides aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan but does not include any provisions related to border security
• Johnson said the House was clear any security bill must recognize border security is national security
• The Senate rejected an earlier bill linking border security measures to foreign aid changes
• Johnson said with no border policy changes from the Senate, the House will have to continue working on border security matters itself
