The US Senate is set to vote on a bill that would tighten immigration controls and provide aid to Ukraine and Israel. The measure has received criticism from both the progressive wing of the Democrats and, above all, from the Republican opposition.

The president, Joe Biden, blames Donald Trump for the resistance of legislators and asks Congress to approve the initiatives as soon as possible. The bill has taken four months to reach consensus in the US Senate, but it only took hours for it to be on the brink of failure.
