US shares $105 billion plan for Israel, Ukraine, to strengthen border

Live Mint  

Amid the two Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars, the United States on Friday released a set of proposals to support Israel and Ukraine and strengthen the influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border. Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to Joe Biden, said the two wars represent a “global inflection point" and the funds hold significance in ensuring the safety of the Americans. However, according to an AP report, the budget progress could face delays as the House of Representatives remains in disarray, with the Republican majority struggling to select a new speaker. According to Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Republicans will be hypocritical to oppose Biden's proposal even after protesting against border management policies.
