U.S. senators expect Congress to reinstate aid for Ukraine even if Trump cuts it

By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican and Democratic senators said on Tuesday they expected the U.S. Congress would pass legislation restoring $250 million in military aid for Ukraine if President Donald Trump goes ahead with plans to block the assistance. "If he decides not to spend this money, I truly am fairly confident, that, on a bipartisan basis, Congress will reappropriate it," Republican Senator Ron Johnson told reporters.
