Biden Seeks $100 Billion in Ukraine Aid Through 2024, Facing Growing Republican Opposition
-
Biden wants to ask Congress for a $100 billion aid package for Ukraine, the largest yet. This would be a "one-and-done" package to last until the 2024 election.
-
Some officials think a single large package has the best chance of passing before the 2024 presidential election. This would avoid further debate next year.
-
Republican opposition to Ukraine aid is growing. Biden may have to make concessions to get a package passed by the new Republican House speaker.
-
Total US military and economic aid to Ukraine so far is around $113 billion. The largest package of $45 billion from December is being depleted.
-
Biden plans a major speech on Ukraine, hoping to unite support for continued aid. The speech timing depends on choosing the new House speaker.
