The US Senate has approved a $95bn bill to deliver security aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region with overwhelming bipartisan support, in a boost to Joe Biden’s top foreign policy priorities.
美国参议院以压倒性的两党支持通过了一项950亿美元的法案,向乌克兰、以色列和印太地区提供安全援助,这是对乔•拜登(Joe Biden)外交政策优先事项的提振。
The final passage of the legislation in Congress on Tuesday ended a political logjam that had lasted for months and paved the way for Washington to quickly dispatch new weapons to Ukraine as it battles Russia’s full-scale invasion. US officials said some aid for Kyiv would be forthcoming within days.
该法案周二在国会获得最终通过,结束了持续数月的政治僵局,为华盛顿迅速向抗击俄罗斯全面入侵的乌克兰提供新武器铺平了道路。美国官员表示,对基辅的部分援助将在几天内到位。
The bill will also bolster US military assistance for Israel — which has exchanged drone attacks and missile strikes with Iran over the past 10 days — and comes despite mounting tensions between the White House and Israeli leaders over the country’s war in Gaza against Hamas and the heavy Palestinian civilian casualties.
该法案还将加强美国对以色列的军事援助——过去10天,以色列与伊朗相互发动了无人机和导弹袭击——尽管白宫和以色列领导人之间的紧张关系日益加剧,原因是以色列在加沙对哈马斯发动的战争造成大量巴勒斯坦平民伤亡。
The approval represents a legislative victory for Biden as he faces an election match-up against Donald Trump in November and a defeat for foreign policy isolationists, particularly Republican lawmakers close to the former president, who had been holding up support for Kyiv for months.
拜登将在11月的大选中与唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)对决,该法案的通过标志着拜登在立法方面的胜利,同时也意味着外交政策孤立主义者的失败,尤其是与前总统特朗普关系密切的共和党议员。
