Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made the case Sunday that U.S. aid for Israel and Ukraine needs to be lumped into one package, despite grumbles from within the Republican Party.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. speaks to media after a Senate Republican policy luncheon, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Kentucky Republican said that while he disagrees with President Biden on his domestic policies, this foreign policy area is one that they’re “generally in the same place.”. We’re rebuilding our industrial base. The Ukrainians are destroying the army of one of our biggest rivals. I have a hard time finding anything wrong with that.
Mr. Biden has requested a $100 billion military aid package for Israel and Ukraine that includes humanitarian assistance. It also includes funding for the U.S. southern border with Mexico to combat illegal immigration and Taiwan to combat China’s aggression.
