Democrat President Joe Biden and his administration are pushing for billions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund an aid package for three foreign nations.
Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are trying to get the funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan approved by Congress during the first week of December.
The Biden admin has so far failed to push through its supplementary $106B “national security” proposal.
According to Schumer, “the biggest holdup” to passing the package is GOP insistence on policy changes regarding U.S. border security.
Republicans have set increased border security as a condition for sending any additional funds to Ukraine.
In a letter to senators on Sunday, Schumer said:
“One of the most important tasks we must finish is taking up and passing a funding bill to ensure we as well as our friends and partners in Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region have the necessary military capabilities to confront and deter our adversaries and competitors.”
