  • The US Senate approved $95 billion in emergency defense funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Putin "will regret the day he questioned America's resolve."
  • The bill now needs to pass the House of Representatives, where it's likely to face stiff opposition.

The US Senate passed a $95 billion emergency defense aid bill for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan early Tuesday morning.

The 70-29 vote put an end to nearly a week of floor discussion and four months of back-and-forth over President Joe Biden's October appeal to Congress to further support Ukraine.
