Despite vehement protests from conservative Republicans, the US House of Representatives has approved a $95 billion legislation package that will give security aid to Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine. The plan enjoys broad bipartisan support.
The Democratic-majority Senate, which approved a similar bill more than two months ago, will now consider the legislation on Saturday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, has been under pressure to put it to a vote from Democratic President Joe Biden to influential Senate Republican Mitch McConnell.
It is anticipated that the Senate will approve the bill next week, and Biden will then sign it into law.
The proposals allocate approximately $61 billion to confront the conflict in Ukraine, with $23 billion going toward restocking US arsenals, supplies, and facilities; $26 billion going toward Israel, with $9 billion going toward humanitarian needs; and $8 billion toward the Asia Pacific region, which includes Taiwan.
