61 billion USD will go to Ukraine, 13 billion to Israel, and 9 billion to humanitarian aid for Gaza, Sudan, and Haiti.

The bill includes a provision banning TikTok unless it severs ties with its Chinese parent company ByteDance.

The bill will now go to President Biden to be signed into law after 6 months of acrimonious debate between Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
