Next week, a bill could be submitted to the US Senate that would include new border control measures on the country’s southern border and assistance to Ukraine.
This was reported by the American publication The Hill, citing senators’ aides.
What is known about the new bill
Sources told The Hill that the document could arrive in the Senate by the end of next week, although the senators themselves do not officially name the deadline.
The publication notes that senators are ready for a confrontation with Republicans in the lower house of Congress and intend to approve the bill, despite the assurances of House Speaker Mike Johnson that the document will most likely not be adopted.
According to The Hill, Republican leader in the upper chamber Mitch McConnell and his allies are confident that if the bill is supported by the Senate, Johnson will be forced to bring the document to a vote.
As a Republican senator told the publication on condition of anonymity, Johnson could lose his position if he puts the document to a vote.
Trump’s strong opposition to this bill puts him in a difficult position. noted the interlocutor.
Earlier, the EU still has not persuaded Hungary to approve €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.
