Democrats plotting to undermine Trump on Ukraine | 8 Nov 2026 | The U.S. Democratic Party is preparing a new $15 billion package for Ukraine alongside tougher sanctions against Russia, the Financial Times reported on Saturday. The party is reportedly seeking to undermine progress made on resolving the Ukraine conflict made by U.S. President Donald Trump, following its victory in midterm elections. The Demo[n]crats are seeking to revive Biden-era policies even before the new Congress convenes in January, with energy assistance being “really, really high on our list,” an unnamed aide told the newspaper. The party could reportedly seek to attach Ukraine-related provisions, including support for its energy infrastructure and air defenses, to the annual National Defense Authorization Act. However, any new legislation will be complicated by the Republicans retaining control of both chambers until January, and Trump’s potential veto of new bills afterwards.
