In Washington, a debate has been raging over a U.S. Senate bill to strengthen border security, which also includes assistance to allies such as Ukraine and Israel.
The bill, which is due to undergo a procedural vote on Wednesday, provides for $118 billion in spending, including $60.06 billion in aid to Ukraine and $14.1 billion to Israel.
However, Republican leaders in the House of Representatives have called for the deal to be canceled, expressing opposition. As a result, Republican leader Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson oppose the proposal, calling it a waste of time.
