(AmericanProsperity.com) – Echoing the sentiments of millions of citizens who believe it is time to prioritize America, House Speaker Mike Johnson has delivered a resounding “no” to further Ukraine aid.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference in Miami, Johnson’s bold stance against pouring more taxpayer dollars into a foreign conflict reflects growing frustration with endless overseas entanglements.
Johnson declared there was “no appetite” for another assistance bill for Ukraine, marking a turning point in America’s foreign policy.
This shift aligns with the growing sentiment among conservatives that it is time to focus on domestic issues and secure America’s borders before sending billions abroad.
The speaker emphasized the need to end the war, noting that even European allies see the need to bring this conflict to a close.
This pragmatic approach resonates with Americans who are tired of shouldering the burden of global conflicts while their country faces pressing challenges.
Johnson initially delayed aid to Kyiv by refusing to vote on a $61 billion assistance bill.
This move reflected the growing skepticism about the wisdom of continued financial support for Ukraine.
Although Johnson eventually passed the bill in April 2024, his recent statements suggest a hardening stance against further aid.
The speaker’s support for President Donald Trump as the force that can end the war underscores the president’s diplomatic prowess.
Specifically, the president has expressed a desire to mediate a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
He plans to engage all parties within 180 days through his envoy Keith Kellogg, offering hope for a swift resolution that prioritizes American interests.
Unofficial U.S. and Russian representatives have reportedly been meeting in Switzerland for informal discussions on Ukraine.
However, the European Union has raised the alarm over Ukraine’s exclusion from recent talks in Saudi Arabia.
This development aligns with President Trump’s assertion that direct engagement between major powers is necessary to broker peace.
Amidst this shifting landscape, rumors have circulated about a potential halt in U.S. weapons sales and deliveries to Ukraine.
While conflicting reports from Ukrainian lawmakers have emerged, these rumors reflect the growing uncertainty surrounding America’s continued involvement in the conflict.
President Trump has also criticized European nations for not contributing more to Ukraine’s defense, which resonates with taxpayers who are tired of footing the bill for international conflicts.
As America faces its own challenges at home, including a crisis at the southern border, Johnson’s stance against further Ukraine aid reflects a growing consensus among conservatives.
It is time to prioritize American interests, secure the nation, and let European countries take the lead in their regional conflicts.
⚡️'No appetite' for new Ukraine aid bill, US House speaker says.
"We have to bring (the war) to an end. And I can tell you that our European allies understand the necessity as well. It's (dragged) on too long," U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said.https://t.co/SV72iXBk6A
