White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation would not affect aid to Ukraine.
In an interview with Fox News, Kirby evaluated Johnson’s resignation as leader of his party today.
Pointing out that aid to Ukraine is made regardless of who is at the head of the government, Kirby said, “Every leader in NATO and the G7 has promised to give aid to Ukraine as long as they can.” said.
JOHNSON WAS UNDER PRESSURE TO REsign
Johnson was under criticism and pressure to resign because of the holding of parties that violated the quarantine rules during the Kovid-19 outbreak in the Prime Minister’s Office Number 10.
Johnson, who was also fined for one of these parties, was accused of lying to the parliament by some of his own party’s lawmakers and the opposition.
The focus of recent criticisms against Johnson was that he appointed Pincher to the party despite being aware of accusations of harassment against Conservative Party lawmaker and party leader Chris Pincher.
Just before the resignations of the ministers, Johnson apologized to Pincher for the task he had given, and expressed his great regret.
Despite the calls for his resignation from both his party and the opposition, Johnson announced yesterday that he will continue his duty, but today he resigned from the leadership of his party. Johnson will continue as prime minister until a new leader is elected. (AA)
