(AmericanProsperity.com) – Thinking he could sneak in a small win before retiring into obscurity, Joe Biden’s plans for more unchecked aid to Ukraine were shot down by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Watch the video down below.
Johnson firmly rejected the lame-duck Democrat’s $24 billion aid request, signaling a major change in foreign policy priorities.
Speaker Johnson has made it clear that no additional funding will be approved without President-elect Donald Trump’s input.
This decision marks a significant departure from the current administration’s approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
With over $75 billion in military assistance already provided since 2022, many Republicans argue that it is time to redirect focus to pressing domestic issues.

The Biden-Harris administration’s wild spending on Ukraine has not stopped at military aid.
The administration has poured at least $20 billion in direct economic aid into the country, prioritizing foreign interests over American needs.
This reckless spending spree comes at a time when the U.S.’ own borders remain unsecured and inflation continues to hurt hardworking Americans.
Biden’s latest request includes a staggering $16 billion for the Department of Defense to replenish stockpiles and repair military equipment.
Republican lawmakers are standing united in their opposition to funding this distant war.
Instead, they advocate for a renewed focus on critical domestic issues such as securing borders, combating inflation and improving the crumbling infrastructure.
JUST IN: House Speaker Mike Johnson will not pass any more funding for Ukraine and will instead “wait and take the new Commander-in-Cheif’s direction on” Ukraine.
