In order to strengthen the provision of weapons and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, the US House of Representatives has added $ 7 billion from the amount originally requested by President Biden to about $ 40 billion, or JPY 5.2 trillion in Japanese yen. Passed an additional budget proposal.

On the 10th, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an additional budget of about $ 40 billion, or JPY 5.2 trillion, to strengthen support for Ukraine over Russia's military invasion, which is feared to be prolonged. It was passed by a majority of 368 and 57 against.



In the US parliament, the ruling party / Democratic party and the opposition party / Republican party are in a serious conflict, and various bills such as the cost for measures against the new coronavirus are not passed. The budget was raised to about $ 40 billion, an additional $ 7 billion from President Biden's initial request of $ 33 billion.



The budget includes the provision of weapons to Ukraine, the replenishment of weapons provided by the US military, financial support to the Ukrainian government, and humanitarian assistance, which is expected to be passed by the Senate soon.



The US Congress has passed a $ 13.6 billion budget to support Ukraine in March, and the New York Times, a leading U.S. newspaper, has at least the last 20 Congress-approved aid to foreign governments. It is said to be the largest in the year.
