House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pledged to address funding for Ukraine in a “timely manner” after meeting with congressional leaders and President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday.

Johnson has shown reluctance to act on the president’s request for more than $60 billion in aid. After the Senate passed a defense bill approving the money earlier this month, the speaker said the House would not be “rushed” to take up the legislation.
