Talks between the Trump administration and Congress on a new round of aid for those hit hard by the pandemic have been stalled since late July.
President Donald Trump said Monday that he's taking"the high road" by not meeting with Democratic leaders as negotiations for another round of coronavirus relief remain stalled.
"These are people that I don’t have a lot of respect [for]," he added."I don’t think they have a lot of respect for the American people. And I know who I’m dealing with. And I don’t need to meet with them to be turned down." Story continues"I am taking the high road," he said."I’m taking the high road by not seeing them. That’s the high road. Yeah. And if I thought it made a difference or would make a difference, I’d do it in a minute."
Last month, Trump signed four executive orders for coronavirus economic relief in an effort to work around Congress. "No, I don't understand it at all because I've always been on the opposite side of John McCain," he said. “I can't think of a better place to be on an American holiday where we celebrate America's tradition of hard work and the American dream," Pence said.
