Today, members of both parties in the House of Representatives voted to advance our national security interests and send a clear message of the strength of American leadership on the world stage. At this critical juncture, they came together to answer the call of history by passing urgently needed national security legislation that I have been fighting for months
He emphasized that this package will "provide much-needed humanitarian assistance to Gaza, Sudan, Haiti and other regions affected by conflicts and natural disasters around the world; and strengthen security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. This comes at an extremely urgent time, when Israel is facing unprecedented attacks from Iran and Ukraine is being bombarded by Russia.
I want to thank Speaker Johnson, Leader Jeffries, and the bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in the House who voted to put our national security first. I urge the Senate to send this package to my desk quickly so that I can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to Ukraine to meet its urgent needs on the battlefield
