The US budget plans have a serious dispute over the proposal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson to exclude assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan from the future budget. This initiative, proposed to avoid a possible federal shuttle, has caused loud reactions, including the White House.
According to Reuters, Mike Johnson believes that consideration of financing of Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan should take place separately from the general budget plan. Such a step, in his opinion, will help to avoid stopping the government in case of failure to comply with the time of budget approval until November 17. However, in the White House, this approach was not strongly approved.
US President President Karin-Jan Pierre considers this initiative not only to be unproductive but also threatening to the government's normal work. She expressed the belief that such actions can cause "chaos and full stop" in government affairs. According to Pierre, Republicans spend time on frivolous proposals that cause criticism in both political parties.
This dispute has considerable potential for political tension in the United States, especially in the context of supporting international allies and global security policy. The initiative, according to the White House, not only threatens the financial support of the Allies, but can also create serious difficulties in fulfilling obligations to partners around the world.
In this situation, a key point is the balance between strategic political decisions in the state budget and the support of international obligations. Further steps of politicians will determine not only the country's financial policy, but also relations with key allies and stability in the work of the government.
