Democrats in Congress may pass new Ukraine aid and override Trump veto – Reuters

Democrats in the U.S. Congress may secure a new aid package for Ukraine and override President Donald Trump's veto, according to Reuters, following their victory in both chambers in the midterm elections. Starting in January, lawmakers will control the legislative agenda, and a Ukraine aid bill could gain the two-thirds majority needed to bypass Trump's veto. Democratic aides have stated that aid to Kyiv is a party priority, and a bipartisan bill has been introduced to restore sanctions on Russia that Trump lifted. Congress could also potentially halt the war with Iran by voting to end hostilities without presidential approval, and may cut military aid to Israel, further straining U.S.-Israeli relations.
