US House to vote on Ukraine and Israel aid, despite hardliners
Washington | The US House of Representatives will have its long-awaited vote on aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific as soon as Saturday, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson said on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), paving the way for its possible passage despite fierce objections from the right wing of his conference.
The House Appropriations Committee unveiled legislation providing more than $US95 billion ($147 billion) in security assistance, including $US60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine, of which $US23.2 billion would be used to replenish US weapons, stocks and facilities.
