According to Bloomberg, President Biden will ask Congress for $100 billion to pay emergency relief for Israel and the Ukraine. The new package aims to continue support for Ukraine in the face of the Russian incursion while also providing further backing for Israel following the Hamas strike.
Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan are all receiving joint emergency financial aid from the US Congress at the moment. Israel earlier today requested urgent military assistance from the US to bolster their ongoing conflict with Hamas. The White House is coupling the help to Hamas with proposed aid to Ukraine, according to sources familiar with the proposal, in order to have more clout in influencing a package for Ukraine that has struggled to get past the Republican House.
Tomorrow's journey to Israel will also include Vice President Joe Biden. He will have a meeting with Netanyahu and the Israeli government. President Biden is scheduled to speak shortly after the meeting; his remarks could include ideas for a support package to be sent to Israel and the Ukraine.
The plan will also include financing for border security, which might influence the Republican House even more. The Office of Management and Budget's spokeswoman declined to comment on the package.
$24 billion in aid for Ukraine was included in a prior White House request. It only covered a three-month span, though. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that he anticipated the request to be sent by the administration by "the end of this week."
“We’d like to get the supplemental package moved as quickly as possible because the needs are great in both Israel and Ukraine,” he added.
Maybe this is meaning we need money than before, in that time bitcoin will be more valueable than fiat.
