It is noted that the speaker did not answer journalists' questions about when exactly he plans to put the package to finance additional assistance to Ukraine to a vote.

Regarding the supplemental funding package, members of the House of Representatives continue to actively discuss our options for further action. As you know, there are many different ideas on this. This is a very complex issue at a very complex time. Time is running out, and everyone here feels the urgency of this. But we need to reach a consensus on this issue. And this is what we are working on,

Johnson also commented on the threats of dismissal by Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who, before the start of the two-week recess, filed a motion to resign if the Speaker brought aid to Kyiv to a vote.

As for Marjorie Taylor Green, she is a colleague whom I have always considered a friend. I don't think Marjorie and I disagree on any philosophical principles. We're both conservatives, but sometimes we disagree on strategy and what to put to a vote and when, and other things,

He added that he did not believe that his resignation would be beneficial to the Republican Party.
