House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Thursday she remains confident she can strike a $3.5 trillion deal with President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to pass another coronavirus relief package.
“I have no doubt they’ll come around,†Pelosi told Bloomberg. The House Democrat leader said she remains assured that Republicans will agree to a coronavirus spending package closer to $3.5 trillion.
Pelosi revealed that Republicans have moved on the need for another coronavirus bill to agree that Congress needs to spend roughly $1 trillion in coronavirus relief.
Republicans and Democrats disagree on how many Americans should qualify for another round of stimulus checks, the degree to which state and local governments should receive aid, and if more unemployment insurance must be provided to pay for the high number of unemployed Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has insisted that any coronavirus package must include liability protections for businesses that reopen.
Pelosi also said Trump should use the Defense Production Act to produce more coronavirus testing equipment.
