Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Republican lawmakers, urging the United States to continue supporting Ukraine to help it repel a Russian invasion.
Johnson has spoken to the highest-ranking Republican, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, in his office and is expected to speak at a closed Republican club, said House Foreign Affairs Committee member Joe Wilson .
Johnson is also scheduled to meet with a group of Republican senators, Sen. Todd Young said, noting he did not know the exact time.
McCarthy’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
Johnson, who resigned in September after a series of scandals, was prime minister when Russia invaded Ukraine last February.
