The White House is expected Friday to submit to Congress a supplemental funding request that will also seek money for Taiwan and the U.S.-Mexico border, sources said.
WASHINGTON — Top congressional lawmakers are beginning to receive details of a new funding package the Biden administration is expected to submit to Congress this week.
NBC News reported Tuesday that the administration plans to submit the roughly $100 billion supplemental funding request to Congress in the coming days.
While the money for munitions is expected to be attached to the Ukraine funding request, these sources said the weapons could be used for various purposes, with the Middle East as a point of discussion.
The timing remains fluid, but a possible reason some details could come Wednesday is that the administration would want to catch senators while they’re still in town, said a lawmaker and an aide.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday, a day after a deadly Gaza hospital blast that has fueled protests across the Middle East, that he was preparing to ask Congress for an “unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense” during his trip to Tel Aviv.
The Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry said 471 people were killed in what it called a “targeted” Israeli bombing of al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza.
