Lawmakers had expressed fears Kyiv would not have enough time to spend the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The continuing resolution to avoid the government shutdown comes amid a partisan impasse on appropriations that includes $693 billion in defense spending for fiscal 2020. For the Defense Department, the stopgap spending bill would explicitly prevent new-start programs and multiyear activities, with some limited exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress reached a bipartisan, two-year budget deal in July which set funding levels for defense and nonmilitary programs,, but dispute is over the president\u2019s decision earlier this month to shift $3.6 billion in military construction funds to his border wall and an impeachment probe threatened to further charge the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2019\/09\/25\/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-us-aid-package-to-ukraine-that-trump-delayed\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3605302.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Here\u2019s what you need to know about the US aid package to Ukraine that Trump delayed<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. has committed more than $1.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since 2014, when Russian-backed separatists began driving tanks through eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the Senate\u2019s bipartisan vote Wednesday to end Trump\u2019s emergency declaration \u2014 again \u2014 should convince Republicans to work with Democrats. Trump used the emergency to divert military construction funding to the border wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSenate republicans unilaterally departed from our bipartisan negotiations earlier this month by proposing to divert as much as $12 billion from military construction and health programs to the president\u2019s border wall,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cObviously that was a nonstarter with Democrats, and the Republican leader and the leaders of the Appropriations Committee on the Republican side had to know that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., was set to meet with Trump on Thursday in an effort to keep the process on track, especially in light of the House\u2019s impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat will take a lot of oxygen out of the air,&#8221; he told reporters. \u201cIt will be the big story of the day, and that won\u2019t preclude us, but it could make it harder.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate voted to send President Trump a measure to avoid a government
