Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have yet to reach an agreement on the Covid-19 stimulus on Thursday as previously promised. Both sides still have disputes about the number of stimulus packages to be announced.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday held talks on a $ 2.2 trillion stimulus package proposed by Democrats, but voting was postponed to allow for more discussion.
But the figures do not agree, the Trump administration is proposing a new stimulus package worth about $ 1.5-1.6 trillion including $ 20 billion in assistance to the aviation industry severely affected by the pandemic crisis, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said.
However, the negotiations that continue to this day also did not bear fruit because they have not reached an agreement. One source reported that Pelosi expressed frustration and anger with the ongoing negotiations. Pelosi described Republicans as not sharing the same views or investment figures required.
Despite uncertainty in U.S. efforts for this stimulus package, both sides are committed to announcing the stimulus package before the election.
