Of the total amount of 24 billion dollars, 8 billion is intended to finance the contracts of American companies for the supply of arms to Ukraine. Another 16 billion should go to replenish the stocks of the American military arsenal.
However, some Republicans have already expressed their disagreement with this step, subjecting the request to sharp criticism.
“Joe Biden just gave back $4.7 billion to taxpayers by unilaterally ‘forgiving’ loans to Ukraine. Congress should not give him a free gift to further sabotage President Trump’s peace talks on the way out the door. Any requests for funding by Biden should be rejected “, – wrote Senator Mike Lee from the state of Utah on the social network X.
