The U.S. Senate on Sunday unveiled a $118 billion bipartisan border
security bill that would also provide aid to Ukraine and Israel, but it
promptly slammed into opposition from the House of Representatives.
In addition to $20.23 billion for border security, the bill included
$60.06 billion to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, $14.1 billion
in security assistance for Israel, $2.44 billion to U.S. Central Command
and the conflict in the Red Sea, and $4.83 billion to support U.S.
partners in the Indo-Pacific facing aggression from China, according to
figures from Senator Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate's Appropriation
Committee.
An additional $10 billion would provide humanitarian assistance for
civilians in conflict zones including in Ukraine, Gaza and the West
Bank, although the bill includes a provision barring its funds from
going to the U.N. agency for Palestinians, UNRWA.

The United States Senate has unveiled a $118bn bipartisan deal that
would boost border security and provide wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden and Democratic and Republican leaders in the
Senate have been pushing to resupply Ukraine with wartime aid but have
faced resistance from conservative Republicans who have insisted on
measures to tackle illegal immigration at the border with Mexico.
Damn if congreffs didn't negotiate some of that foreign pork out!
