US House moves ahead with foreign aid package

The US House of Representatives has moved ahead with a $148 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The chamber voted 316-94 to advance the bills. It is expected to vote on Saturday on the legislation, and if passed, it would need to go back to the Senate for final approval. Hardline Republicans are pushing back against Speaker Mike Johnson and the $148 billion package saying money should not be sent overseas without dealing with the crisis at America’s border. With other conservatives threatening to oust Mr Johnson.
