US House backs massive defense policy bill, Senate next

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a massive defense policy bill on Wednesday authorizing a record $901 billion in annual military spending, paving the way for the must-pass measure to become law for a 65th straight year.

The tally was 312-112 in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, sending it for consideration by the U.S. Senate, which is expected to pass it next week.

The NDAA also provides $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine in each of the next two years and includes other measures reinforcing the U.S. commitment to Europe's defense, reflecting most lawmakers' continuing strong support for Kyiv as it fights Russian invaders.
