President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a $95.3 billion emergency spending bill that will send military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Pacific partners, capping a dramatic week that culminated with a rare bipartisan outcome.
“When our allies are stronger, we are stronger,” Biden said. “I’m making sure the shipments start right away — literally within two hours. … As I’ve argued for months, this is directly in America’s national security interests.”
Specifically, the U.S. commander in chief said air defense and rocket systems, as well as armored vehicles made in America, would be in the first tranche of combat equipment sent under the bipartisan supplemental package.
