The House of Representatives has presented its bills on that assistance, four separate ones, which will be voted on this weekend. The step is a personal project of the Speaker of the House, Republican Mike Johnson, which puts him at odds with the most radical wing of his party.

Johnson, who has not yet completed half a year in office, had been dragging his feet around the time of voting on the extraordinary allocation of 95 billion dollars, of which 60,000 will be allocated to Ukraine and 14,000 to Israel. The Senate gave the green light to the bill in February, but the speaker argued, first, the need to pass domestic budget measures; then, priority had to be given in the calendar to the renewal of the FISA law that authorizes surveillance practices for counterespionage without the need for judicial permission. The party is deeply divided, and, in a situation in which every vote counts, those of the radical wing, although a minority, acquire disproportionate importance. And this group constantly raises the threat of precipitating an internal motion of censure if they do not like the bills.
