President Trump has demanded the Senate 'stop playing partisan politics' and pass a massive stimulus bill meant to jumpstart a flagging economy battered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Among the demands Schumer wants included in the bill are new collective bargaining powers for unions, higher fuel emissions standards for airlines, and expanded wind and solar tax credits.
“We Democrats are trying to get things done, not making partisan speech after partisan speech,” Schumer said earlier Monday while calling the legislation an exclusively Republican-authored bill.Speaking to reporters Monday, Trump said that the bill needed to be passed to mitigate any more financial fallout from the COVID-19 outbreak.
Along with the Senate bill, Trump during the briefing also addressed concerns about price gouging and reports of people hoarding medical supplies – such as face masks and hand sanitizer – that are desperately needed by health care workers battling to stop the spread of the contagion.
Speaking to reporters, Trump also called out the reports of hostility directed at Asian-Americans amid the outbreak.
