House passes $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan


The House overwhelmingly approved $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with Speaker Mike Johnson defying opposition within his party to advance the aid package. The bipartisan support reflected Congress's commitment to helping Ukraine and countering Russian aggression. The aid includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, humanitarian aid for conflict zones, and support for the Indo-Pacific region. The legislation also includes measures to sell off frozen Russian assets and impose sanctions on Iran. The Senate is expected to pass the legislation, signaling a strong message of American leadership on the world stage. The decision to advance the aid package faced opposition from hard-right Republicans, but ultimately passed with bipartisan support.
