Washington, April 25 -- US President Joe Biden signed into law on Wednesday a $95 billion war aid measure that includes aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and that also has a provision that would force social media site TikTok to be sold or be banned in the US.
The announcement marks an end to the long, painful battle with Republicans in Congress over urgently needed assistance for Ukraine.
"We rose to the moment, we came together, and we got it done," Biden said at the White House. "Now we need to move fast, and we are." Biden approved immediately sending Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance and said it would begin arriving in the "next few hours" - the first tranche from about $61 billion allocated for Ukraine.P15
