Samson:  Trump is considering launching a new trillion-dollar relief package

06/14/2020 12:55:51

The White House’s commercial advisor, Peter Navarro, said that US President Donald Trump is studying a new relief package for at least $ 2 trillion.

Navarro pointed to the stimulus package in his interview with Fox, saying that "the president is very interested in something at least two trillion dollars."

Navarro expressed the aspirations of the White House to see a significant reduction in payroll taxes, and focus on bringing industry jobs back into the United States, within any relief law enacted in Congress, according to the Politico Magazine.

Trump's current position is likely to be at odds with congressional leaders, including members of his Republican Party. The Senate Majority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, has assured the US president that he prefers a one-trillion-dollar less aid package, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seeks a three-trillion-dollar package.

It is noteworthy that Trump signed at the beginning of last March, a law that includes three relief projects approved by the Congress in the amount of three trillion dollars in federal funds to alleviate the economic crisis caused by the Corona pandemic.  LINK
