Trump added that he would like to agree on a fiscal stimulus package that exceeds the $ 2.2 trillion proposed by Democrats.
For months, discussions between Democrats and Republicans have continued to extend the “Cares” law that was passed in March with the outbreak of the Corona virus and allows spending 2.2 trillion dollars to stimulate the economy, before it expires.
But the dispute between the two sides to reach a new stimulus plan still exists over the amount and forms of spending, as Democrats insist on helping stumbling state and local governments, which Trump categorically rejects.
Democrats seek to pass a sweeping stimulus bill worth $ 2.2 trillion, while the Trump administration raised its latest offer to $ 1.8 trillion.
Last week, US Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin announced that an agreement had not yet been reached with Democratic lawmakers on a new stimulus package for the US economy, despite some progress.
