Speaker Johnson Weighed In on Putin–Xi Discussing Organ Transplants; Trump Hosts Poland's President Nawrocki

Following the news of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's discussion on organ transplants and immortality, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to a question raised by NTD congressional correspondent Melina Wisecup on Wednesday morning. Johnson said, "The fact that they were caught in a hot mic first, I've heard, is very telling. It tells you where their worldview is, in contrast to our speaking of evil. ... The United States, we're going to stand for morality and ethics, and we're going to stand against that. There's legislation that you know that would address it, and we might need to put that at the top of the priority list, if that's what's happening."

President Donald Trump is hosting Poland’s newly elected president, Karol Nawrocki, at the White House on Sept. 3. Paul Jones, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, said that Nawrocki’s first official visit to Washington could bring important advantages for Ukraine, citing Nawrocki’s steadfast support for the country’s defense against Russia.
