US President Donald Trump has stated that negotiations with opposition Democrats for a new Corona aid package have so far failed. Trump wrote on Twitter that he had instructed his negotiators to suspend talks until the November 3 presidential election. On the New York Stock Exchange, stock prices immediately plummeted.
Trump’s Democrats and Republicans had been fighting for weeks for a new aid package to support citizens and businesses in the face of the devastating effects of the corona pandemic. Opposition leader Nancy Pelosi last spoke repeatedly by phone with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. Democrats, however, asked for significantly more funding than Republicans and the White House wanted to promise.
Trump accused Pelosi of asking for $ 2.4 trillion to financially rehabilitate “poorly governed” states with high crime rates from Democrats. The Speaker of the House of Representatives was not concerned about the fight against the corona virus and its economic effects. His government, on the other hand, made a “very generous” offer of $ 1.6 trillion.
Trump wrote on Twitter that he would win the presidential election on November 3 and immediately launch a new stimulus package. In polls, the incumbent is currently behind challenger Joe Biden of the Democrats.
Pelosi harshly criticized Trump for breaking up the talks. Trump shows his “real face” once again and puts himself first “at the expense of the country,” the Speaker of the House of Representatives said Tuesday. “The White House is clearly in complete disarray.”
“By fleeing the coronavirus talks, President Trump is showing that he is unwilling to destroy the virus,” Pelosi said. Trump shows his “contempt” for science and the “heroes” of the world of work.
