President Joe Biden has officially signed a substantial foreign aid package, allocating billions of dollars to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
This move came after the Senate approved the $95 billion emergency foreign aid package late on Tuesday, with no provisions for U.S. border security.
The bill received support from a faction of Republicans, often referred to as RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), who joined Democrats to pass the measure with a 79 to 18 vote. The final tally revealed that 48 Democrats and 31 Republicans voted in favor of the foreign aid initiative. However, 15 Republicans diverged from their party to vote against the package, with three Democrats also opposing it.
Upon signing the bill, President Biden expressed his satisfaction, stating, Its a good day for America. He further elaborated, Its a good day for America, its a good day for Europe, and its a good day for world peace. Its going to make America safer, its going to make the world safer, and it continues Americas leadership in the world and everyone knows it.
The President emphasized the importance of standing by allies and opposing tyrants, saying, We believe America must stand up for what is right. We dont walk away from our allies, we stand with them. We dont let tyrants win, we oppose them.
However, Biden did not shy away from criticizing the "MAGA Republicans" for their opposition to the package, which sends billions of dollars to foreign countries while overlooking the U.S. border. Some of our MAGA Republicans reject that vision, Biden added.
