WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US House Republican Conference is considering trying to pass multiple bills this week to provide aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, Punchbowl News reported, citing four sources familiar with the plan.
House Republicans intend to pass four foreign aid bills this week, the report said on Monday.
One of the bills will include a TikTok ban, a measure to sell seized Russian assets, lend-lease style military aid and convertible loans for humanitarian relief, the report said.
The House Republican leadership will attempt to advance the plan under a single rule.
On Monday, House Republicans held a closed-door conference meeting, where House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly outlined the plan to colleagues. Johnson told House Republicans that he will allow an amendment process for the legislation.
Johnson, who spoke with President Joe Biden earlier in the day, also reportedly said that any Ukraine aid legislation must be considered as a standalone bill.
