Trump Admin Requests $88B for Iran War, Ebola Aid and Farm Support

Washington sent Congress a long-awaited supplemental funding package on Wednesday aimed at covering Iran war costs. The administration requests about $87.6 billion to address “urgent needs” related to the conflict, along with funds for Ebola response in Central Africa and support for American farmers.

The request faces significant opposition from both Democrats and vulnerable Republicans who may view backing it as endorsement of an unpopular war. Its passage in the Senate remains uncertain due to strong Democratic resistance.
