As wars continue to rage in Ukraine and Israel, President Biden has requested over $105 billion in supplemental funding from Congress, primarily to support these countries, including $61.4 billion for Ukraine and $10.6 billion in military support for Israel. Most of that money would help with air and missile defense systems.

The request also includes funding for economic and humanitarian assistance, and other support for Ukraine. The request addresses the global humanitarian impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and of Hamas’ horrific attacks on Israel, including by extending humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. Moving beyond the active engagements in Ukraine and Israel, the request includes $3.25 billion in development and military financing for Asian countries in an attempt to counter China’s economic and military expansions in the region.

Domestically, there are enhanced border security measures including an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judge teams, 1,600 asylum officers, and technology to prevent drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. The border-specific funding request totals more than $13.6 billion. A sharp increase from the president’s August request which totaled around $4 billion in border-related funding. In addition, a new category of requests categorized as “Submarine Industrial Base” and totaling $3.4 billion, is directed toward improvements at US shipyards, including privately owned ones, for the purpose of supporting the US nuclear submarine fleet.

The White House also signaled its intention to make future requests for additional funding for natural disasters, high-speed internet access, childcare, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program, among others.

Here is a breakdown of the request:
