With 12 days left of the government year, the interest in international aid is at the forefront. Democrats are starting to divide in aiding Israel. Bernie Sanders says that the blank check policy should end. Republicans are divided in continuing to aid Ukraine. Tom Cotton stated that Biden does not care about "securing the US border." The Democratic party says that this shows how the Republicans are just ready for Trump to hand Ukraine back to Russia. 

 

It is important to remember that we have aided both countries since the start of these conflicts. It would be enormous if we just stopped aiding them. Ken Buck said he favors aid to Israel and Ukraine — if they’re paid for: “We have three weeks of legislative business ahead of us, if not more, and we can get those things done and they’re very important to get done."
