This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Last month, Congress passed and President Biden signed a $95 billion dollar aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The bill also includes a provision that forces the owner of TikTok to sell the social media platform or be banned in the U.S.

SDPB's Lee Strubinger speaks with U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds about what's in the package. The senator sits on both the Senate Armed Services and Senate Intelligence committees.

Rounds outlines what's in the package and discusses the United States' place on the world stage.
