The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has announced that the US aid bill for countries such as Israel and Ukraine will be filed in the House of Representatives today.
Johnson said the text of four bills providing aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific would be tabled "soon today", with a fourth including "further measures to deal with Russia, China and Iran".
The bill, worth about $95 billion, passed the Democratic-led Senate on February 13, but is likely to face stiff opposition in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives when it finally comes up.
Both houses of Congress must pass the bill before President Joe Biden can sign it into law.
However, former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress want funding directed toward domestic issues like border control, rather than foreign wars.
Trump's critics have suggested that he is deliberately blocking legislation that would provide funding for both Ukraine and border control because he intends to focus his election campaign on immigration and therefore has no interest in improving the country's problems. perceived.
