WASHINGTON: Top Democrats and Republicans blamed each other for stalled talks on coronavirus aid legislation on Sunday , a day after the House of Representatives approved US$25 billion in new funds for the US Postal Service, a bill that Republicans declared dead.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Sunday criticised the Democratic vote as"a largely messaging bill" and blamed Pelosi for failing to agree on broader legislation that included supplemental unemployment benefits. He had, however, reached out to Pelosi's office on Saturday. Pelosi shot back on CNN's"State of the Union", saying that the postal bill addressed"an emergency immediately and it’s something that should be bipartisan."She also said Trump was stalling needed coronavirus relief for cities and children for political gain, signalling that negotiations were likely to make little progress during the Republican National Convention, which gets underway this week.
