There was a "consensus" between US President Joe Biden and congressional leaders during a Sunday phone call that lawmakers need to take quick action to send aid to Ukraine and Israel. This was stated by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in ABC.

At a press conference in New York, the US senator expressed "hope" that "something can be done this week to help both countries."

Earlier, on Sunday, April 14, Biden spoke with Senate Majority Leader Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

According to Schumer, the best way to send aid to Ukraine and Israel is for the House of Representatives to consider and pass the Senate-approved supplemental national security program, which includes aid to both countries. This refers to the $95 billion package passed by the Senate in February, which Johnson has not yet brought to a vote.
