On the 13th, the U.S. Senate passed an emergency budget bill for military aid to Ukraine, which had been in limbo due to conflict between the ruling and opposition parties.
However, the speaker of the House of Representatives from the opposition party, the Republican Party, has expressed negative views on this budget bill, and it remains unclear whether the budget bill will be enacted.
On the 13th, after consultation between the ruling and opposition parties, the U.S. Senate voted on an emergency budget bill totaling more than $95 billion, or more than 14 trillion yen, including aid to Ukraine and Israel, with 70 votes in favor. It passed with 29 votes against.
The United States, which has been Ukraine's largest military supporter, ran out of funding at the end of last year due to conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties, and new military aid has stopped.
The Biden administration has repeatedly urged Congress to pass a budget quickly.
In the Senate, the ruling and opposition parties briefly agreed on measures to strengthen border controls with Mexico that were requested by the opposition and Republican parties, but in response to former President Trump's opposition, Republican members also turned to the opposition, leading to a deadlock. It was riding up.
However, the budget bill passed by the Senate this time does not include measures to tighten border control, which Trump has pointed out are insufficient, and in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, Chairman Johnson has rejected the plan. However, it remains unclear whether the budget proposal will be passed.
