Abandoning the border proposal brought the price tag of the bill down to about $95.3 <a href=\"http:\/\/billion.it\/\" target=\"_blank\">billion.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that the Senate has approved the emergency spending package, it is up to the Republican-led House to take it up, change it or let it die. Speaker Mike Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ukraine-aid-congress-6970b539025d2de5ade9e3aff165c54f\">cast new doubt<\/a> on the package in a statement Monday evening, making clear that it could be weeks or months before Congress sends the legislation to President Joe Biden\u2019s desk \u2014 if at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a closer look at the spending breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Munitions for Ukraine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About $60 billion in the bill would go to supporting Ukraine as it defends itself from the Russian <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-europe-russia-moscow-kyiv-626a8c5ec22217bacb24ece60fac4fe1\">invasion<\/a> that began nearly two years ago. There\u2019s nearly $14 billion to allow Ukraine to rearm itself through the purchase of weapons and munitions and another nearly $15 billion for support services such as military training and intelligence sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support also includes nonmilitary assistance. About $8 billion would go to help Ukraine\u2019s government continue basic operations with a prohibition on money going toward pensions. And there\u2019s about $1.6 billion to help Ukraine\u2019s private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About a third of the money allocated to supporting Ukraine actually will be spent replenishing the U.S. military with the weapons and equipment that are going to Kyiv. Senate Republican leader <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mitch-mcconnell\">Mitch McConnell<\/a> has repeatedly emphasized that point, saying in a statement Tuesday that the money is about \u201creaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current Commander-in-Chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also about $480 million to help Ukrainians displaced by the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iron Beam laser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About $14.1 billion in the bill would go to support Israel and U.S. military operations in the region. About $4 billion would go to boost Israel\u2019s air defenses, with another $1.2 billion for Iron Beam, a laser weapons system designed to intercept and destroy missiles. There\u2019s also about $2.5 billion to support U.S. military operations in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel launched its war against Hamas after the militant group\u2019s unprecedented Oct. 7 attack that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in Israel. About 250 others were taken hostage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legislation contains also $9.2 billion in humanitarian assistance to provide food, water, shelter and medical care to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine and others caught in war zones around the world. The war in Gaza has sparked <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/video\/israel-hamas-war-gaza-disease-outbreaks-hamas-ayman-al-zawahiri-252ec69a17e74289bf94cf273c38903b\">a humanitarian catastrophe<\/a> that has prompted shortages of the most basic necessities. A quarter of Gaza\u2019s residents are starving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said, \u201c2 million Palestinians have been uprooted from their homes. Those homes have been reduced to rubble. Folks are desperately seeking to survive. They lack adequate food, safe water or shelter. Many are injured without anything remotely resembling sufficient medical care or shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than $8 billion in the bill would go to support key partners in the Indo-Pacific and deter aggression by the Chinese government. The bill includes about $1.9 billion to replenish U.S. weapons provided to Taiwan and about $3.3 billion to build more U.S.-made submarines in support of a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-australia-united-kingdom-submarines-nuclear-cf330037f9e6befdec0f6c1658601462\">security partnership<\/a> with Australia and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill includes about $400 million for a grant program that helps nonprofits and places of worship make security enhancements and protect them from hate crimes. There\u2019s also language that would target sanctions on criminal organizations involved in the production of fentanyl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Made-in-America munitions
