updates: The US House of Representatives has passed a $95 billion aid package to provide foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as well as a TikTok ban requiring the popular app's Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest from the platform within up to a year or face a nationwide prohibition in the United States. The bills were approved in a rare Saturday session with overwhelming bipartisan votes. The package includes $60.84 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8.12 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, pushed forward the measure despite objections from hardline members of his majority. The bill has bipartisan support and is expected to pass in the House. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has urged senators to be ready to work over the weekend if the bill passes in the House. The Senate has already passed a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with a vote of 70-29, indicating a shift in ideology within the Republican Party. The bill includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $4.8 billion for Taiwan, and $9.2 billion in miscellaneous humanitarian assistance. House Republicans initially demanded that any further foreign assistance be paired with their border security legislation, but this requirement was not included in the final bill. Only two Republican senators, Mitt Romney of Utah and Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, voted against the bill. This vote highlights the ongoing ideological struggle within the Republican Party between the old guard and the America First conservatives. However, the old guard still holds significant power and influence and is determined to maintain their vision for foreign interventionism. The $95 billion aid package is crucial for Ukraine as it continues to fight off a two-year Russian invasion. The funds will support Ukraine's efforts to defend itself and counter Russian aggression. The aid package also includes significant assistance for Israel and security aid for Taiwan and allies in the Indo-Pacific region. The passage of this aid package is seen as a win, but some argue that it delayed the aid getting to our allies. Additionally, the package did not include a significant border security provision for the southern border. US President Joe Biden welcomed the votes, stating they would deliver critical support to Israel and Ukraine, provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, and other locations, and bolster security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky also welcomed the aid package, while Russia criticized it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the US House for passing the Israel aid bill. The bills will now go to the US Senate for approval. [5814a164] [331a8d4b] [3514ae97] [dc0a1928] [2bbbb056] [4afae402] [7f9f5e10] [cfbc3c71]
