Democrats may restore Ukraine aid, Reuters reports

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

A Democratic victory in the US midterm elections could lead to a review of President Trump's foreign policy, potentially restoring aid to Ukraine and limiting the war with Iran, according to Reuters. Democrats may attempt to allocate assistance to Ukraine, stop funding for the war in Iran, and end aid to Israel. They have already blocked Trump's proposed 67% military budget increase in the Senate, citing his refusal to consult Congress on Iran and cuts to social programs. Restoring aid to Ukraine could pass with a two-thirds majority, enough to override a Trump veto. Democrats also called for investigations into Trump's actions in Venezuela, condemned sanctions on Cuban civilians, and plan probes into Trump family business ties and potential conflicts of interest.
