Washington, D.C. — Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst have joined their GOP colleagues in a procedural vote that has blocked a bill to provide US aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
The bill also would provide funding for US border security measures, but Ernst says that’s not sufficient.
Ernst says the bill is an acknowledgement by the Biden Administration that there’s a border crisis.
Biden says he’s willing to make significant compromises on border security if that’s what it takes to get the 110 billion dollar package through Congress. US military aid for Ukraine will run out by the end of the year and Biden warns that if Russia takes Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t stop there.
