On Thursday, US President Joe Biden signed a bill for short-term government funding to avoid a government shutdown that does not include funding for support to either Ukraine or Israel. According to the White House, as reported by “European Truth”. The US Senate finally approved the package on Wednesday evening, about 48 hours before the deadline for a possible government shutdown at midnight on Friday. The bill will extend government funding until mid-January to early February.
The bill extends funding until January 19 for priority areas such as military construction, veteran support, transportation, housing construction, and energy. The rest of the government functions will be funded until February 2. In this way, Biden has postponed the battle with Republicans in the US Congress over the federal budget to the new year.
The spending bill does not include the White House’s request for nearly $106 billion, which covers aid to Israel and Ukraine. It was reported that the combined package of bills, which includes aid to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and border reinforcement, is planned to be considered in the Senate after Thanksgiving, which will be celebrated in the US on November 23.
Republican Congressman Don Bacon stated that the House of Representatives already knows what to do with the bill regarding aid to Ukraine and how much money they want to allocate to Kyiv. In his opinion, the consideration may take place in December.
The Biden administration urges Congress to quickly approve the White House’s request for aid to Ukraine to prevent serious consequences for its defense capability.
President Joe Biden signed a bill on temporary government funding on Thursday, November 16, to prevent a shutdown, but the package does not include additional aid for Ukraine and Israel.
