The president formally submitted the aid package on Friday; here’s what’s in the package to support Ukraine and Israel.
President Biden on Friday unveiled $106 billion proposal that primarily consists of funding for Ukraine and Israel, in what may prove the last major piece of domestic legislation of his first term.about the war in Israel, reflects the White House’s desire to demonstrate U.S. resolve on a range of international fronts. The plan is likely to be passed quickly through the Senate, where it is expected to enjoy more bipartisan support.
At least $45 billion would go to military needs. The U.S. has been sending existing stockpiles of munitions and weapons to Ukraine, and the Congressional funds allow the Biden administration to replenish existing stockpiles. The U.S. has thus far directed more than $75 billion to Kyiv, most of which has gone to security assistance, loans for military gear, and Defense Department stocks of weapons and equipment.
The request asks for $1.2 billion to in additional funding to boost narcotics detection and interdiction at the border at a time when more than 110,000 Americans are dying per year from drug overdoses. Most of those deaths were caused by the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, and the additional funding will be used to hire more officers and deploy next-generation scanning equipment at U.S.
