Today, the White House administration has given the latest comment on the progress of the Covid-19 stimulus package negotiations. The White House said on Tuesday that there was potential that a deal could be reached in a few weeks. This statement suggests that an agreement could be reached with Congress before the November 3 election despite the growing number of Covid-19 pandemic cases in the United States.
White House spokeswoman Alyssah Farah said the White House could get something in the next few weeks. This statement is read by some as one indication that there are ongoing disputes over additional assistance for state and local governments, and direct financial assistance to individuals.
On the other hand, on Monday, Speaker of the House of Representatives spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi said she hoped an agreement could be reached before the election even though the main issue of the dispute was still there.
Both sides are still opposed to the need for further federal stimulus funds to address the pandemic outbreak that has been going on since the U.S. House of Representatives. led by Democrats approved a stimulus fund in May.
Donald Trump's allies have also expressed opposition to the extension of the stimulus package, although Trump has proposed a larger amount than the Democrats have proposed.
The United States is currently facing a surge in Covid-19 positive infection cases for two consecutive weeks.
