Congress has passed an $825 billion FY24 defense spending bill, but the plan to get Ukraine military assistance across the finish line remains uncertain.
Congress released the text of the $825 billion FY24 defense spending bill, which includes some Ukraine aid and funding for multiyear munitions contracts.
There are bipartisan calls to hit the breaks as defense spending nears $1 trillion. Others say that amount is not enough to fund U.S. strategy worldwide.
The department is weighing options to keep arms flowing to ammunition-starved Ukraine, but there's no replacement for the aid package stalled in Congress.
