Senate Approves $95.3B Aid Package; Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan Benefit Amid GOP Divide
February 11, 2024The US Senate has advanced a substantial $95.3 billion aid package.
A major portion of the package, $60 billion, is allocated for Ukraine to support its defense against the ongoing Russian invasion.
The package also includes $14 billion for Israel to bolster defenses against Hamas, and includes provisions for Taiwan.
The aid is deemed critical for replenishing Ukraine's military capabilities as the conflict with Russia continues into its third year.
Despite Senate approval, the aid package may encounter resistance from Trump-aligned Republicans in the House of Representatives.
The aid's passage through the House remains uncertain amidst GOP lawmakers' divisions.
