A $95 billion military aid package, including $26 billion for Israel, $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, and $61 billion for Ukraine, was signed by President Joe Biden. Interestingly, the bill contains provisions that specifically target TikTok, allowing parent company ByteDance to sell the app for nine months before the US bans it. The signing was preceded by months of negotiations, lobbying by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a split in the House Republican conference. The conservative opposition to increased aid for Ukraine posed a challenge to House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership.
