Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says Republicans are set to roll out the next COVID-19 aid package on Monday and assured there was backing from the White House.
12 million Americans were unable to pay last month’s rent, another 23 million don’t know where they will find money to pay next month’s rent.WASHINGTON -- Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday that Republicans were set to roll out the next COVID-19 aid package Monday and assured there was backing from the White House after he and President Donald Trump's top aide met to salvage the $1 trillion proposal that had floundered just days before.
Mnuchin’s optimistic assessment came before Democrats weighed in publicly on the updated proposal, which remained only a starting point in negotiations with House and Senate leaders in the other party. He said he recently called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ahead of shuttle negotiations next week on the broader deal.
“The president has been very clear. He wants to make sure that the American people have what they need during this unprecedented time," Meadows said,"to make sure not only the money is there but the programs.”
