US Secretary of the Treasury, Stephen Mnuchin, said that his position is still “very far” from the position of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding an additional economic aid package to mitigate the repercussions of the Corona virus, and that reaching an agreement will be difficult before the presidential elections on November 3 the first.
But Mnuchin said he would continue to try to agree on a financial aid package before the vote.
The White House, Democrats and Republicans in Congress are under growing pressure to reach an agreement on fiscal stimulus to help Americans overcome the pandemic crisis that has killed about 216,000 and damaged the economy.
But the two sides are divided over many priorities. Republicans in the Senate are fighting a proposal Mnuchin made last week that the package be worth $ 1.8 trillion, saying the amount is too large. Pelosi says the amount is not enough, and calls for a $ 2.2 trillion package.
