Speaker of the US House of Representatives Johnson is “not sure” whether he will be able to meet with Zelensky

“I don’t think we’ll be in town on Thursday. The schedule of our meetings has changed””, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, said that he is “not sure” whether he will be able to meet with the President of Ukraine on September 26, when Volodymyr Zelensky comes to Washington. Johnson said this in a comment to “Voice of America”.

Johnson, a Republican, said he wasn’t sure if he would stay in Washington because Congress’ plans had changed. “I don’t think we’ll be in town on Thursday. The schedule of our meetings has changed. Everything is very fluid. A hurricane is approaching the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of us will drive away, people come home because of it. So I’m not sure yet,” said the speaker.

“Voice of America” ​​reports that the day before, the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer informed that there have been changes in the schedule of Congress – the last votes of this week and month in Congress are scheduled for Wednesday, after which congressmen and senators will leave for their districts due to bad weather

As part of his trip to the US, Zelenskyi will be in Washington, where on September 26 he plans to hold meetings with President Joe Biden and Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to present Ukraine’s “victory plan”. It was planned that Zelensky would also hold a similar meeting with the US presidential candidate from the Republicans, Donald Trump. However, according to the media, a meeting between Zelenskyi and Trump has not been scheduled.

On September 24, Reuters, citing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, reported that Zelensky will also visit the US Capitol on September 26 to meet with Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
