Joint Chiefs Chair Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown and a group of lawmakers toured a Lockheed Martin plant in Arkansas and McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in Oklahoma Thursday. The “trip was part of the Pentagon’s full-court press to get the House to move forward on a $95 billion foreign aid package that’s key to getting critical munitions flowing to Kyiv again,” AP reported.
“Much of the money, about 80% of the money out of the supplemental, will go back into our defense industrial base,” Brown told reporters.
The aid package, which also includes money for Israel, Taiwan and U.S. border security, passed the Senate but is stalled in the House.
