Trump suffers another staggering rebuke as House passes Ukraine measure he opposed

President Donald Trump's grip over the House of Representatives continued to loosen on Thursday, as 18 Republicans broke ranks to pass a foreign military aid measure his administration doesn't support, a new report revealed. According to Politico, the measure, which was also opposed by House GOP leadership, is a "strong show of support for Kyiv and the first time a standalone aid package has passed either chamber during Trump’s second term."The measure also includes a new round of sanctions on Russia.Trump has been opposed to standalone Ukraine assistance, as he wants to diplomatically negotiate an end to the war — although so far Russia has categorically defied every attempt to broker a withdrawal from its invasion.It's the second major rebuke of the president's foreign policy in the House this week. On Wednesday, the chamber voted to restrict Trump's war powers in Iran, with four Republicans crossing over to vote with the Democratic side.The Ukraine resolution passed with a stirring endorsement from retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), who proclaimed on the House floor, “This is our Churchill moment or our Chamberlain moment, and by God I’m going to choose Churchill.”Despite the measure sending a significant message, said the report, it "faces long odds of making it to Trump’s desk. The Senate has sidestepped efforts to vote on its own package of Russia sanctions, despite more than 80 senators signing on as cosponsors."
