The US Senate is expected to approve billions of dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan on Tuesday, April 23, after the House of Representatives suddenly ended a months-long impasse and approved the aid in a rare session on Saturday.
The Senate will discuss a package of four bills approved by the House of Representatives, the first provides $61 billion to Ukraine, the second provides $26 billion to Israel, the third allocates $8.12 billion to “counter communist China” in the Indo-Pacific region, and the fourth includes imposing a possible ban on the TikTok application. For social communication, take measures to transfer confiscated Russian assets to Ukraine, and impose new sanctions on Iran.
The Democratic-controlled Senate could pass the package late Tuesday to head to the White House, where Democratic President Joe Biden has pledged to quickly sign it into law, which would pave the way for military aid to be shipped to Ukraine within days, giving its forces A morale boost in fighting Russian forces, and it is not yet clear how the money allocated to Israel will affect the war in Gaza as Israel has already received billions of dollars in security aid from the United States.
