He also said he would consider a prosal from the Republican-led House of Representatives to consider national security assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan separately, rather than as one bill.

"I am reserving judgment on what will come out of the House until we see more about the substance of the prosal and the process by which the prosal will proceed," Schumer said.

Johnson said on Monday that the House of Representatives would consider a foreign aid package this week, dividing it into four separate bills supporting Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other U.S. national security needs.
