House Approves, $866 Billion , Military Spending Bill.
On December 14, over two-thirds of the United States House
of Representatives voted for a defense policy bill that is
now headed to the White House to be signed into law.
NBC reports that the bill includes a record
$866 billion in annual military spending
and policies to extend aid for Ukraine.
.
The National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) was passed by a House vote
of 310 in support and 118 against.
.
The NDAA includes a wide range of funding,
including pay raises for troops and the purchase
of new ships, aircraft and munitions.
The 2024 NDAA also includes a four-month extension for
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA), which grants authority for domestic surveillance.
On December 13, the Senate rejected an attempt
to have the FISA extension removed from the NDAA
before approving the defense funding bill.
The NDAA also includes an extension for the Ukraine Assistance
Initiative (UAI), funding it through the end of 2026 and
granting the program $300 million for both 2024 and 2025.
.
NBC reports that the extension for the UAI program is
a fraction of the $61 billion requested by the Biden
administration for helping Kyiv push back against Russia.
That spending request has been bogged down in
Congress, where Republicans have looked to leverage
funding for Ukraine for tighter immigration policies.

In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a readiness to engage with a potential Trump presidency, suggesting that former President Donald Trump's previous anti-Ukraine rhetoric might be part of a strategic campaign approach. Zelensky's remarks come amid ongoing concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Despite Trump's past criticisms of U.S. aid to Ukraine, Zelensky and his team believe that these statements do not necessarily reflect Trump's true intentions if he were to return to office. They anticipate that, in pursuit of a strong international image, Trump would likely not abandon Ukraine altogether. This stance indicates a nuanced view within Zelensky's administration regarding the implications of U.S. political dynamics on Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. As tensions remain high in Eastern Europe, Zelensky's comments highlight the importance of U.S. support in Ukraine's efforts to combat Russian aggression.

During a recent campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden launched a sharp attack on supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump, characterising them as the kind of individuals "you'd like to smack in the ass." His remarks came as he criticised Trump’s proposed tax cuts for high earners, framing them as harmful to working-class Americans. Biden's comments aimed to highlight what he perceives as the detrimental effects of Trump’s policies, which he argues primarily benefit the wealthy. This outburst, reflecting Biden's escalating rhetoric against Trump and his supporters, underscores the growing tensions as the November 5 election approaches.
