0:51Now PlayingSecretary of State Antony Blinken urged the House Thursday to pass the Ukraine aid bill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has embraced a sense of urgency to deliver aid for U.S. allies following Iran’s attack against Israel over the weekend, moving ahead with a floor vote on a $95 billion national security package.
But after months of Israel and Ukraine expending resources in their respective wars absent U.S. assistance, questions remain about whether that top-line figure will be enough.
Johnson is proposing to bring a vote on four separate bills addressing aid for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-Pacific and other national security priorities. Republicans have matched President Biden’s original request for aid to Israel — a little more than $14 billion — and some $60 billion for Ukraine, though about $10 billion of aid for Kyiv has been shifted to loans.
