US Treasury Sec. Mnuchin: We’re going to update Senate On Coronavirus Relief Bill
|Following the objection by the Republicans and a suggestion by President Donald Trump that the Senate would make further changes to the measure, the Coronavirus Relief Bill appears to have hit a speed bump, as per CNN. To tackle the roadblock, US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is in the closed-door meeting with some of the senators after saying that they are going to update the Senate on coronavirus relief bill. It was also mentioned that the Trump administration member would not elaborate on size of additional US coronavirus stimulus package before he discusses it with the senate on Tuesday.
