WASHINGTON, Feb 13 - A $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan passed by the Senate 70-29 early Tuesday now faces an uncertain fate in the House, ABC News reported.

Twenty-two Senate Republicans voted for the aid -- that includes $60 billion for Ukraine -- defying former President Donald Trump who strongly opposed it.

Trump, whose earlier opposition to the national security supplemental that included border security provisions led to its demise, criticized the foreign aid bill, saying in a social media post over the weekend that the United States should only lend money to foreign allies.

"My message [to Johnson] is this is a rare moment where history is looking upon the United States and seeing if we will stand up for our values, stand up to bullies like Putin and do the right thing," Schumer said. "I will say to Speaker Johnson I am confident that there's a large majority in the House who will vote for this bill. I am confident there are many Republicans in his caucus, I know I've spoken to a whole bunch of them who feels strongly we ought to pass this bill and I will urge Speaker Johnson to step up to the moment and do the right thing."

Schumer said House Republicans would be giving a "enormous gift to Vladimir Putin" if they do not act.

"The responsibility now falls on Speaker Johnson and House Republicans to approve this bill swiftly. And I call on Speaker Johnson to rise to the occasion. To do the right thing. Bring this bill to the floor. As I said, given the large majority, robust majority here in the Senate it is clear that if that bill was brought to the floor, our bill is brought to the floor, it will pass. But if the hard-right kills this bill, it would be an enormous gift to Vladimir Putin."

Schumer was asked a number of questions about possible House amendments to this package. While he didn't fully rule out considering a House-amended version of the bill, he did repeatedly state that he believes the House ought to pass the Senate version.

Asked if the he would view a House amendment to the national security supplemental changing the payments to Ukraine and Israel to loans as a non-starter -- per Trump's suggestion, Schumer said "we ought to stick with this bill."

"I mean, no one even knows how this loan program would work. Because Donald Trump says something doesn't mean Republicans should march in lockstep to do it," Schumer said.

In a speech at the White House Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden said the House should "immediately" vote on the Senate bill.

"I urge Speaker Johnson to bring it to the floor immediately, immediately," Biden said. "There's no question that if the Senate bill was put on the floor in the House of Representatives, it would pass. It would pass. And the speaker knows that."

Biden said it's a "critical act for the House to move on" and must be done soon to show that America can be "trusted."

"This bipartisan bill sends a clear message to Ukrainians, and to our partners and, to our allies around the world. America can be trusted," the president said. "America can be relied upon. And America stands up for freedom. We stand strong for our allies, we never bow down to anyone and certainly not to Vladimir Putin. So, let's get on with this." (abc/ez)
