Senate expected to vote on Ukraine and Israel aid after GOP blocked border bill
The US Senate is set to consider a bill to provide foreign aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan after Republicans rejected a bipartisan border security and foreign aid bill. The Senate previously voted 49-50, with the Republicans voting to filibuster the agreement due to a lack of measures against the record-high migrant crossings at the southern border. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to present a pared-down aid package without border security provisions but including measures against fentanyl trafficking. The new foreign aid bill has been met with skepticism by Senate Republicans.
