Congress is facing a race against time to pass a foreign aid package that would provide assistance to key U.S. allies, including Ukraine and Israel. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced plans to hold a vote on President Joe Biden's request for billions of dollars in aid as early as the week of December 4th. However, negotiations have been complicated by various issues, including funding sources for the aid, Israel's war in Gaza, and immigration reform. Republicans are seeking border security policy changes as part of any spending bill, which Schumer has identified as the biggest obstacle to delivering aid to Ukraine and Israel. Bipartisan negotiations have been ongoing, but finding a compromise has proven to be exceedingly difficult. Both houses of Congress are under pressure to reach an agreement with only three weeks left on the legislative calendar. The outcome of the negotiations and the details of the aid package, including the amount of funding, are still uncertain.
