The Speaker of the House of Representatives now wants to give Ukraine loans instead of aid. The idea goes back to Donald Trump. But what sounds like good news for Ukraine could come with a high price.
For Mike Johnson, it all comes down to one question: Will he survive this vote? The Republican has only been Speaker of the House of Representatives since October of last year. After US President Joe Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris, the 52-year-old holds the third highest office in the United States. But if Johnson implements what he recently announced, he will face being voted out – and his political end.
