Trump Wants Congress To Increase Stimulus Checks In COVID-19 Relief Bill

In a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday, the president called the current bill “a disgrace.”


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday not to sign a $892-billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.


The outgoing Republican president’s threat, with less than a month left in office, throws into turmoil a bipartisan effort in Congress to provide help for people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.


“The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter. “It really is a disgrace.”


Trump also complained about money in the legislation for foreign countriesthe Smithsonian Institution and fish breedingamong other spending.


“I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation, and to send me a suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me, he said.
