Democrats Want More Aid for Ukraine But Have Funds Tied Up Elsewhere | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Fresh off a trip to Ukraine, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress' most pressing issue is to pass more aid to the war-torn country. But right now, those funds are tied up in the form of $10 billion in new COVID relief money, along with Title 42 and the immigration crisis along the Southern border. Congressman Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee, agrees with the need to get more Ukraine aid done quickly. The representative writes, "The next two to three weeks are going to be very pivotal and very decisive in this war." Meanwhile, Republicans want to keep Title 42 in place and they've linked that to the COVID relief bill. The policy is set to expire at the end of this month. Democrats face other challenges as well. The commerce department reports the economy shrank by nearly 1.5% last month, the worst showing in 2 years. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports.
