After months of struggle, the package unveiled by Speaker Mike Johnson includes aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, as well as a bill that would ban TikTok if the owner Bytedance can’t sell it.
The U.S. House of Representatives is poised to give a final vote on a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and allies in the Asia-Pacific in a rare Saturday session.In an extremely rare step, the members of the House Rules Committee joined forces late Thursday in a near-midnight vote. Four Democrats gave their support on a procedural step to push past the Republican majority's three hardline holdouts to send the package to the House floor for debate on a 9-3 vote.
The money is earmarked for the purchase of weapons from the U.S. as well as $9 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine in the form of "forgivable loans." More than $26 billion in aid will be used to support and provide Israel with humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza. About $4 billion will be dedicated to replenishing Israel’s missile defense systems and an additional $2.4 billion will be used for current U.S. military operations in the regions.
