President Donald Trump has unequivocally voiced support for a second-round stimulus investigation as Congress is embroiled in controversy over a new coronavirus relief package.
Congress MLAs are still divided in the party line on the price tag attached to the second round of relief. Republicans have proposed a 1 trillion dollar bill, a modest figure that is much lower than the Democrats’ initial bid of $ 3 trillion. While both parties have tried to reach an agreement, neither has shown a willingness to go to the middle. House Speaker Nancy Pelsoi said as long as Republicans at least tr. The trio has refused to continue negotiations until it approves a trillion dollars, an amount the GOPA has denied.
Trump has backed more investigations by Americans, as evidenced by a number of remarks made by the president during interviews, press conferences and speeches in recent months.

“Now, we have used 300 billion dollars in the account which we have not used, 300 billion,” he said. “And we’re ready to use it. I’ll release it, subject it to Congress, and use it as stimulus money, and it’ll be right for the American people. It’s going so well. “
“All Congressmen have to say, ‘Use it,'” the president added. “I want to use it without their permission, but I don’t think I’m allowed to do it. I asked that question. So Congress just said, ‘Use it.’

Despite continued support for stimulus payments, Trump suggested during a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, that citizens do not need a second round of investigations.
“The country is doing a very good job right now,” he said. “We can live happily with or without it [another stimulus package.]”
He added, “We’ve got everything we need and we’ve got a great economy. You just have to take a look at these charts. Our economy is doing well.”
That same day, Trump tweeted: “I directed [Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin] To be ready to send direct payments to all Americans (4,400 for four families). Democrats are holding this! “
When immediate action was signaled in the tweet, Munuchi had earlier announced that the IRS could quickly distribute checks once Congress approved the law.

Shortly after the stimulus talks broke down last month, White House Press Secretary Kyle McKinney reminded reporters that Trump’s agenda, as well as funding for schools, is under scrutiny.
“The president would like to see Americans pay directly, the president would like to see school funding,” he said. “There are a lot of things we want to see.”

When asked about his stance on the second phase of the stimulus investigation, Trump told the Fox Business Network on July 1 that he supports more direct payments. He claimed he wanted to give Americans more money than Democrats.
“I do, I support it, but it has to be done properly,” the president said during an interview. “I support a much larger number than the Democrats.”
Trump was then asked to state whether he wanted a bigger check or more funding for unemployment benefits. He said, “I want people to have more money so they can spend. I want the money to be there quickly and in a non-complicated fashion.”
