What’s inside the $95 billion House package focused on aiding Ukraine and Israel

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled a long-awaited package of bills that will provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel, replenish U.S. weapons systems and give humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. The overall amount of money provided to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons from the U.S. is roughly the same in the House and Senate bills — $13.8 billion. Johnson, as he seeks GOP support for the package, noted that former President Donald Trump has endorsed a “loan concept.” He also noted that the House package includes a requirement for the Biden administration to provide a plan and a strategy to Congress for what it seeks to achieve in Ukraine. It includes legislation to allow the U.S. to seize and transfer an estimated $5 billion in Russian assets to a “Ukraine Support Fund.” It also includes legislation that would ban the video app TikTok if it’s China-based owner, ByteDance, does not sell it.
