U.S. President trump approved a relatively broad $1.8 trillion stimulus package on Friday (October 9), which will include relief programs for airlines and small businesses, as well as compensation protection programs, but about $400 billion less than the $2.2 trillion bill previously passed by the Democratic Party.
Therefore, Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house of Representatives, said on the 10th local time when talking about the economic stimulus package of the trump administration that the proposal is equivalent to "one step forward and two steps backward". He said that when trump talks about wanting more relief money, it seems that he wants to have more and more free economic decisions, rather than seeking agreement on how to eliminate the virus and relief workers.
Congress has failed to pass a new aid plan for months as the outbreak continues to spread in the United States and the economic recovery slows. Pelosi said the government's proposal lacked a strategic plan to curb the spread of the virus, insufficient funding for state and local governments, and even less financial relief for American families.
