Trump signs COVID-19 economic relief package; $900 billion
Washington: US President Donald Trump's insistence on not signing the $ 2.3 trillion Covid-19 fiscal package has come to an end. Trump has signed a bill that would include $ 900 billion in funding for those who lost their jobs as a result of the coup and $ 1.4 trillion in general government spending.
The Senate Relief Fund was passed last Monday. But Trump said he would not approve the U.S. Senate decision if the $ 2,000 stimulus check was not approved.
According to Reuters report,President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to not sign an $892 billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.
Trump said he was signing the US Covid-19 Relief Bill in the belief that the stimulus check would increase from 600 to 2,000 in the next Senate. Trump's move comes in the wake of the presidential election defeat that could have affected millions of ordinary people. Trump's move has embarrassed even Republican party leaders and activists.
After months of negotiations, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party reached an agreement. Anyway, with the president's signing, the 12 million people who lost their jobs because of Covid-19 will get $ 300 a week for the next 11 weeks.
