The $100 billion request would include defense aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

The sources indicated that the $100 billion request would include defense aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, according to Reuters.

Reuters also reported that President Biden is expected to submit a supplemental spending bill to Congress within the next few days to address the issues currently faced by Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

Biden's decision comes as he prepares for a trip to Tel Aviv and Amman to showcase his support for Israel and address the ongoing Gaza humanitarian crisis following the Hamas attack on October 7.

U.S. Senate leadership confirmed that they were expecting a request from Biden by the end of the week for financial aid to support Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, as well as for border security.
