"Biden's Dual Aid Package: $14B for Israel, $60B for Ukraine, Heads to Congress"
The White House is preparing a $105 billion foreign aid package that includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $14 billion for U.S.-Mexico border security, $7 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, and $10 billion for humanitarian efforts. President Biden emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine and Israel in his speech, citing the need to hold terrorists and dictators accountable. The proposal aims to address concerns about potential conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, as well as the influx of migrants at the U.S. border. However, the plan may face opposition from Republicans who question the ongoing support for Ukraine and prefer to allocate funds to domestic issues. The White House hopes to push the proposal through Congress by bundling it with GOP priorities. Russian President Putin taunted Biden, criticizing his calls for diplomacy while requesting more weapons for U.S. allies.
