The Democratic-led U.S. Senate on Monday set the stage for final passage of a 95.34 billion US Dollars aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The Senate voted 66-33, exceeding a 60-vote margin, to sweep aside the last procedural hurdle and limit debate on the measure to a final 30 hours before a vote on passage that could come on Wednesday.
But things could move more quickly. Republican opponents of the legislation were due to speak against it on the Senate overnight,
That could enable Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to move for final passage Tuesday morning.
