The US Senate has passed a $95 billion package that includes money for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
The new legislation includes sanctions on Iran, the seizure of frozen Russian sovereign assets and a measure that could lead to a nationwide ban of TikTok.
The bill next goes to President Joe Biden, who said he would sign it into law on Wednesday.
“This critical legislation will make our nation and world more secure as we support our friends who are defending themselves against terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin,” Biden said.
