Biden agreed to talk with Johnson/Getty Images/Channel 24 Collage US President Joe Biden agreed to meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson. The topic of their conversation should be a new aid package for Ukraine from the United States. Biden is convinced that Republicans are making a mistake by blocking the approval of funding for our state . Note that Johnson previously refused to put the package to a vote in the House of Representatives. On February 13, the US Senate voted for a package of assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan for more $95.3 billion. Of these, more than 60 billion are planned to be transferred to Ukraine. However, Speaker Mike Johnson refused to put it to a vote, demanding a meeting with Joe Biden. The American leader, in turn, agreed to a conversation with the Speaker. Of course, I'm glad to meet him if he has something to say,” Biden said. In a conversation with reporters, the US President said that Republicans are making a big mistake by opposing aid to Ukraine. Biden also added that the Republicans are making a big mistake by “retreating from the threat of Russia” and “retreating from NATO.” He noted that it was “simply shocking” and he had “never seen anything like it.”Conversation with Johnson
