Budget officials plan a major request to Congress as U.S. faces foreign policy crises on multiple fronts
President Biden delivers remarks on the terrorist attacks in Israel on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023. Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined the president. White House officials are considering asking Congress for an aid package primarily aimed at supporting Ukraine and Israel that could cost as much as $100 billion, although that preliminary estimate may change as planning remains in flux, according to four people briefed on the matter.
One person, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations, said the request would cover a full fiscal year for the crises it is intended to address. The effort comes as House Republicans struggle to elect a new speaker, which could complicate efforts to pass any bill swiftly. House Republicans have grown increasingly wary of providing taxpayer funds to Kyiv, but may be more likely to do so if a request also includes money for the border and Israel.that White House officials were considering a $100 billion request in the aid package. It was unclear how much money would be included for each country.
