Quick Glance: Senate Passes Aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan with Strong Bipartisan Support
  • The Senate has approved $95 billion in war aid for 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.
