The US Senate has failed a procedural vote on a bill that would provide aid to Israel, Ukraine, and strengthen control measures on the southern border of the United States. This was reported by the American edition of CNN.
During the vote, the required 60 votes were not received - it was 49 to 50.
The package provided for the allocation of $118 billion, including $60 billion for Ukraine, as well as immigration reform demanded by Republicans.
As journalists emphasized, the blocking of the bill by Republicans in the Senate was expected due to the position of the 45th US President Donald Trump and the top Republicans in the House of Representatives, including Speaker Mike Johnson.
Now, as we wrote earlier, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is to take a procedural vote on an emergency aid package for Israel and Ukraine that would cancel the border agreement. This vote may take place later today.
