- pyuser583 4y agoIt’s copy of a Russia Today story. The details of the Telegraph article are different from the headline. > According to reports, to end the impasse, Mr McCarthy agreed a deal that the House would commit to passing bills that would cap all discretionary defence spending at 2022 financial year levels, meaning roughly $1.47 trillion. Congress has passed four emergency supplementals totalling more than $100 billion since Russia’s invasion in February. > President Joe Biden will require Congress to approve any additional military aid later this year. Should one of the rebel lawmakers - who have vowed to oppose any further aid packages - be given leadership roles in the House Rules Committee it could create immense hurdles to passing additional assistance legislation. Capping defense spending, and creating a veto-ocracy are very different than “cutting aid to Ukraine.” The Telegraph article headline includes a quote: “agreed to cut aid to Ukraine”, but nowhere in the article is that quote found.
