Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and the House Republican leadership meet with reporters following a closed-door Republican strategy session as Johnson pushes toward separate votes on aid for Israel and Ukraine, at the Capitol in Washington, April 16, 2024.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday released the text of foreign aid bills that make up a four-pronged plan to get assistance to Israel, Ukraine and allies in the Indo-Pacific.

He has said the legislation will include a loan structure for aid and enhanced strategy and accountability.

Later Wednesday, Johnson said he plans to unveil text for a fourth bill that includes other national security priorities, including a TikTok ban, a provision to help pay for aid by using seized Russian assets, sanctions and other measures to confront Russia, China and Iran.
