WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Friday that a Republican holdup on sending new U.S. aid to Ukraine for its war with Russia was “close to criminal neglect” as he huddled with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about U.S. and Europe’s efforts to maintain support for Kyiv.

The Senate adjourned Wednesday evening still in search of more Republicans who will vote for U.S. aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.

The House GOP majority will move forward this week with a new piece of legislation that is unlikely to result in anything more than sending a message to their counterparts in the Senate. The bill would provide more than 17 billion dollars for aid to Israel and replenish American arms stockpiles that have been depleted […]
House Republicans will introduce a bill this week that would give Israel $17.6 billion in military aid, more than the $14.3 billion in Israeli aid contained in the national security bill that will be considered by the Senate next week.
