The US House of Representatives passed on Saturday a $95bn legislative package providing security assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over objections from a number of Republicans.
The legislation now proceeds to the Democratic-majority Senate, which is set to begin considering the House-passed bill today. Final passage was expected sometime this week, which would clear the way for Biden to sign it into law.
The bills provide $60.84bn to address the conflict in Ukraine, including $23bn to replenish US weapons, stocks and facilities; $26bn for Israel, including $9.1bn for humanitarian needs in Gaza, and $8.12bn for the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan.
