U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke for 65 minutes on Friday, her spokesman wrote in a post on Twitter, continuing their talks over a possible fresh coronavirus aid package.
They discussed areas of disagreement, and negotiations will continue, spokesman Drew Hammill posted on Twitter.
Congress and the White House approved more than $3 trillion worth of coronavirus relief measures earlier this year, but Mnuchin, as well as members of Congress from both parties, have argued more stimulus is needed. “Our negotiations with the administration continue, and I am hopeful that we can reach agreement,” she said. “However, we sill have significant disagreement in key areas.”
