President Donald Trump's rejection of a $ 900 billion stimulus package and a $ 1.4 trillion bill approved by Congress this week has put pressure on Democrats and Republicans as it could lead to a 'government shutdown'.
The President of the United States (US), Donald Trump has expressed his intention to use his veto power to reject the funds agreed by Congress.
On the other hand, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer also expressed support for Trump's proposal to propose a direct increase to $ 2,000 per person.
However, there has been no reaction from Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell who has not yet said whether he supports a larger stimulus package.
The $ 900 billion compromise reached by McConnell could support the Republican Congress (GOP), especially the two Republican senators who will face elections on January 5. The amount offered seems to be sufficient and the GOP does not want large expenditures as proposed by Democrats.
If US President Donald Trump uses his veto power to reject the Bill, Congress will have to find another way. Trump can use his veto power, where he does not have to sign a Bill (RUU). If so there is a possibility that the government administration will be closed for 3 days starting on Monday.
Today, at the same time Donald Trump has used his veto power to reject a defense fund (Bill) Bill passed by Congress this month.
Trump objected to provisions that would restrict his decision to recall US troops in Afghanistan and Europe and rename military bases.
In addition, Trump also criticized the bill for refusing to comply with his request to stop liability protection for social media companies known as Section 230.
Pelosi is expected to propose a $ 2,000 payment proposal in the Dewan Rakyat for a vote.
