Pentagon urges Congress to pass funding for Ukraine, Israel

At a press briefing on 16 November, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh called on the US Congress to approve additional funding to continue to support Ukraine and Israel and to invest in the Indo-Pacific region.  

“We also urge Congress to pass our supplemental funding requests that would allow us to keep supporting Ukraine and Israel providing life saving humanitarian assistance across the globe and makes critical investments in the Indo Pacific,” Sabrina Singh said.

She noted that this funding means investment in the US industrial base, meaning “greater prosperity at home and greater security” oversees:

“The supplemental doesn’t just meet today’s urgent challenges, but also invest in our industrial base here at home. Because as we send munitions from our stockpiles, the money to replenish our supplies, invest in the American industry and American workers. These investments will mean greater prosperity at home and greater security abroad,” Ms. Singh stressed.
