UK and France warn US ‘the world is watching’ on Ukraine aid

Cameron’s words come ahead of a face-to-face meeting with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson this week. Johnson’s House Republicans are deeply divided about providing military support to Ukraine and have yet to pass on a  $60 billion aid package for the country which the Senate approved nearly two months ago.

Cameron last week urged European foreign ministers to “get on the phone” to Johnson in a bid “to get that supplemental through” after a two-day NATO foreign ministers’ meeting.

“Congress does listen to what others say and what America is capable of doing,” he said. “I think the thing that could most change the narrative about Ukraine [would be the] $60 billion flowing from U.S. to Ukraine.”

Cameron, a former prime minister, last headed to D.C. in December where he similarly encouraged Congress to pass an aid package for Ukraine. In February, the foreign secretary penned an op-ed for the Hill, urging the West not to "show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s."

But not everyone welcomed his intervention. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, an ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, said Cameron "needs to worry about his own country, and frankly, he can kiss my ass."
