A narrowly divided U.S. Senate moved closer to passing a $95.34 billion aid package for Ukraine‚ Israel and Taiwan on Sunday‚ showing undiminished bipartisanship despite opposition from Republican hardliners and Donald Trump. The Democratic-led Senate voted 67-27 in a rare Sunday session to clear the latest procedural hurdle and moved the foreign aid measure toward an ultimate vote on passage in the coming days. The money is viewed as crucial by Kyiv‚ as it grinds toward...

To withdraw from it is‚ for many‚ to avoid stress‚ annoyance‚ and maybe even negative...
