Congressional leaders have unveiled a $1.7 trillion bill to fund the government
The U.S. has provided about $68 billion to Ukraine in previous rounds of military, economic and humanitarian assistance.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has warned that if the fiscal year 2023 spending measure fails to gain bipartisan support this week, he would seek another short-term patch into next year, guaranteeing that the new Republican majority in the House would get to shape the package. “The Congress is rejecting the Biden administration's vision and doing the exact opposite," McConnell said.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said at a recent forum that a Biden executive order early in his administration emphasized that the issue of racial equity is not just an issue for any one department, but it has to be the business of the whole government. Lawmakers are nearing completion of the 2023 spending package nearly three months late. It was supposed to be finished by last Oct. 1, when the government’s fiscal year began.
