Mike Johnson shifts support from Ukraine aid to Trump
Republican Speaker Mike Johnson has shifted his stance on Ukraine, moving from supporting aid to aligning with former President Trump’s views. This change comes after a tumultuous period last spring when he risked his position to back funding for Ukraine. Johnson's reversal reflects a broader trend among Republicans, as Trump criticizes Ukraine and seeks closer ties with Russia. This shift was evident during a recent Oval Office meeting where Trump confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Following the meeting, Johnson praised Trump on social media, stating that America will no longer be "taken advantage of." This marks a significant change in Johnson's approach to foreign policy and Ukraine.
