rehe outgoing US President Donald Trump has refused to sign the aid package approved by Congress against the Corona crisis. He called the bill shameful Tuesday and called for changes to the $ 900 billion stimulus package that Democrats and Republicans had agreed to.
In a video broadcast on Twitter, Trump described the $ 600 sum to be paid to all citizens below an annual income limit as “ridiculous.” Instead, he asked for at least $ 2,000 in direct payments.
“Americans only get the bare minimum”
Trump complained that the stimulus package also included aid payments to countries like Cambodia and Egypt. “Congress has raised a lot of money for other countries, while Americans only get the bare minimum,” Trump said.
The stimulus package was approved Monday after months of bickering between Republicans and Democrats. The White House had previously announced that the president also supported the package and wanted to sign it, according to a spokesperson. The bill is the government’s second-largest cash injection after the $ 2.3 trillion aid approved in March. The United States is the country most affected by the pandemic.
