According to information, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, is playing a leading role in this.
Speaker Johnson has not yet taken a position on the plan or committed to a vote on the issue. He urged his colleagues to complete work on a bill to fund the government first. It is expected that work on this area will be completed in mid-March.
CNN's Republican sources believe that the Speaker will then bring an initiative to fund aid to allies to the floor.

A bill to provide assistance to Ukraine has been under discussion in the US Congress since October 2023. In mid-February, the Senate approved a bipartisan initiative to allocate more than $95 billion to help Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The document must now be approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Mike Johnson refused to put the bill to a vote without measures to strengthen the security of the southern border.
