The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a significant foreign aid package totaling $95 billion, aimed at supporting Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other allies. This legislative action, marked by rare bipartisan support, culminated after months of intense negotiations and procedural hurdles. The aid package includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8 billion for Taiwan, covering both military and humanitarian support. It was approved in a series of votes during a rare Saturday session. The Senate is expected to pass this package next week, following negotiations with the White House.
