The US Senate is not ready to approve a joint aid package for Ukraine and Israel, since it is far from an agreement to strengthen immigration legislation and border protection.
Senator Lindsey Graham expressed this opinion, reports NBC News.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, as well as Senate Republicans, have repeatedly said that they would vote for aid only if there were also increased controls on the US-Mexico border.< /p>Now watching
However, Senator Lindsey Graham said that the US Senate is still far from reaching an agreement on strengthening immigration laws in exchange for providing aid to Ukraine before 2024.
— We are not anywhere near an agreement, — he said.
At the same time, according to him, the approval of the aid package will probably move to next year.
Recall that in early October, President Joe Biden requested more than $100 billion from Congress for national security needs. Of this, $60 billion was to go to help Ukraine.
December 7 Republicans in the US Senate blocked a bill to provide aid to Ukraine and Israel due to its lack of provisions on US border security.
