US senators submit bill on funding landmine clearance in Indochina
VOV.VN - Member of the US Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Tammy Baldwin of the Democratic Party from Wisconsin state, and Senator Jerry Moran of the Republican Party from Kansas state, have submitted a bipartisan bill that allocates funding for clearing landmines and other unexploded ordnances left over from the war in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Introduced on November 1, the bill seeks to reaffirm the US’s long-term commitment to providing financial support for demining efforts in the three nations.
In the foreseeable future, the US will earmark US$100 million annually for this work during the 2025 to 2029 period.
