The House voted to provide military assistance to Ukraine and impose fresh sanctions on Russia, marking the second major break with Trump in a week.
The House voted to approve military assistance for Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia, breaking with Trump's stated opposition to ongoing Ukraine aid. This is the second major legislative rebuke of Trump's foreign policy in a single week, suggesting there's at least some congressional appetite to constrain his approach to the war.
It's notable that Republicans joined Democrats on this vote—which means this isn't just partisan opposition. Trump has been clear that he wants to cut aid and negotiate with Russia, but enough members of his own party either disagree or are unwilling to follow him entirely. That said, a House vote isn't the same as a veto-proof majority, so Trump could still block aid if it reached his desk. The real question is how many Republicans will keep breaking with him when it comes to foreign policy, or whether this was a one-off assertion of independence.
