Senate Republicans have blocked a $110 billion aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza, demanding changes to US immigration policies.
The bill failed to advance with a 51-49 vote, leaving the future of aid uncertain. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders also opposed it, citing concerns over military aid for Israel’s actions in Gaza.
The White House warns of dwindling funds for Ukraine. President Biden, willing to compromise on border issues, calls for urgent action.
$175 million in new security assistance for Ukraine is announced. Disagreements over border security and asylum rules have stalled negotiations, risking a delay before Congress’ winter break.
Despite Ukraine’s urgent need, divisions persist, with uncertainty surrounding a crucial aid package.
