The president has previously blamed the Democrats for the delay in securing a further relief package, suggesting they think one will boost his election chances.
Pelosi previously said she does not necessarily think speaking to Trump directly would be conducive to reaching an agreement.
Speaking on MSNBC, she said:"Quite frankly, my experience with the President is it hasn't been on the level. You know, he'll say something, then it doesn't really happen. So, in the interest of time, we'll work with who he sends over to—if he has their—if they have his confidence, then we'll work with them on these issues."
Suggesting Trump might agree to something then walk away, stating he had done so in the past, she said:"So, I don't find it a good use of time." Despite this stance on speaking to Trump, she said that she and colleagues are"committed to staying here until we have an agreement, an agreement that meets the needs of the American people," when asked about the situation on CNBC.Congress has also persistently stalled in securing support in both the Senate and the House for a bill.
