Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan
  • The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

  • The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.

  • Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.

  • There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
