Will the new US Congress finally play hardball with Donald Trump?
Looks like the balance of power in Washington is shifting just enough to make things interesting for Kyiv.
So, the new Congress is coming in with the Democrats holding the keys to both chambers. This is a massive headache for Donald Trump, who has been treating military aid to Ukraine like his own personal subscription service he can just cancel.
The current situation is bizarre: Trump signed a bill to block Russian fuel, only to turn around and lift those sanctions weeks later, annoying even his own party. Now, with a two-thirds majority potentially on the table, lawmakers have a path to override the President’s veto. The plan is simple: if Trump tries to shut off the taps, Congress can just push the funding through anyway.
It’s almost like the system of checks and balances actually remembered it has a pulse. Donald Trump is already complaining about being the “Mr. Veto” of the White House, but it looks like he might have to get used to being overruled.
