Ukraine Aid Stalled in Congress, But Loan Idea Gains Traction as Possible Compromise
• Aid to Ukraine has stalled in Congress, but interest is growing in providing funds as a loan instead, an idea floated by Trump.
• Powerful Ukraine advocates like Lindsey Graham and House Speaker Mike Johnson are backing the loan idea as a "common sense" compromise.
• Some lawmakers don't love the loan idea but say they'll support whatever it takes to get Ukraine aid passed.
• Both parties still think passing the $60 billion Senate bill is the best option, but are open to a loan if it's the only path forward.
• The Biden administration hasn't ruled out supporting a loan program for Ukraine if Congress can't pass the Senate aid bill.
