"Ukraine Aid and Immigration Reform Deal at Risk of Collapse"

Negotiations on a possible deal for Ukraine aid and immigration reform are at risk of collapsing due to disagreements over policy and funding. Lawmakers have linked the two issues, with Republicans seeking policy changes at the border before supporting Ukraine funding. While negotiators have agreed on policy, they have yet to determine funding, and conservatives are becoming increasingly skeptical. Former President Trump's opposition to the combined deal, particularly the border security portion, is complicating matters, leading Senate Republicans to fear the impact of presidential politics on the deal's viability.
