House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) remarked on Feb. 14 that the House will not be “forced” by the Senate to accept a foreign assistance package that includes funding for Ukraine.

“They’re important issues on the table. We are not forced into action by the Senate, who in the latest product they sent us over does not have one word in the bill about America’s border, not one word about security,” he told reporters following the weekly House GOP conference meeting.
