WASHINGTON President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a $95 billion foreign aid package that sends military assistance to Ukraine and Israel as well as humanitarian relief for Palestinians in Gaza after months of delay caused by former President Donald Trump and his House allies.

Its a good day for America, its a good day for Europe, and its a good day for world peace, Biden told reporters gathered at the White House, adding that he had just signed the bill, which cleared the House on Saturday and the Senate on Tuesday night. History will remember this moment.

He thanked both Democratic and Republican congressional leaders by name for getting the bill through, even though it took seven months. He cited reports of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines of the battle against the Russians cheering as news of the House vote came in.

Im making sure the shipments start right away, Biden said in the morning announcement. In the next few hours, literally few hours, were going to begin sending equipment to Ukraine for air defense munitions, for artillery, for rocket systems, and for armored vehicles.
