The United States is set to unveil a $2.3 billion military aid package for Ukraine, highlighting the country's aspirations to join NATO. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the package, which includes air defense interceptors, anti-tank weapons, and other critical munitions from U.S. inventories. The package is expected to be part of a complex plan by Speaker Mike Johnson to provide aid to U.S. allies while addressing conservative concerns. The Republican Party has been divided on the matter, with conservatives opposing additional funding to Ukraine. The package is expected to be released amid mounting pressure from members in both parties to hold a vote on a bipartisan Senate package that includes support for U.S. allies.
