WASHINGTON - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Sunday said they were open to restarting COVID-19 aid talks, after weeks of failed negotiations prompted President Donald Trump to take executive actions that Democrats argued would do little to ease Americans’ financial distress.
On Sunday, both Pelosi and Mnuchin appeared willing to consider a narrower deal that would extend some aid until the end of the year and then revisit the need for more federal assistance in January, after November’s election that could rebalance power in Washington. “We could talk about how long our provisions would be in effect, so we can take things down — instead of the end of September of next year, a shorter period of time — and we’ll revisit all of it next year anyway,” said Pelosi, whose fellow Democrats controls the U.S. House of Representatives.
Democrats, pushing hard to keep a $600 per week additional unemployment benefit and deliver more funds to cash-strapped states and cities battered by the pandemic, had offered to meet Republicans halfway to close the $2 trillion gap — a move the White House rejected.
Do not trust Pelosi at any of her words.
Illegal shifting of powers. Gop Senators walk away from the table refusing to negotiate across the aisle purposely to shift the powers to King Trump.
Key word is “after”. They should have never left Washington until it was done. They forced his hand.
They need to get it done now.
OUT NANCY PELOCI AND DEMOCRATAS.
Ahh look at him he looks so proud of himself
😭
Is it just me... Or, does Nancy look like she has quite a 'package' being held in place by her dress? I'm envious as hell and not ashamed to admit it... ;~)
We can't let JoeBiden destroy America, who already destroyed it enough for being over 50 years in Politics, If he knew how to fix America he would of told Obama 12 Years ago. But he couldn't then and he won't now.
Nancy for president!!! She has the guts.
Too bad Moscow Mitch has taken a pass on his oath of office and turned yellow in negotiating with Nancy. Why G☠️P put up with a Senate leader like him. He’s proven himself 2 be Trump lap dog & a person who cares little 4 Americans. This day will come back to haunt the G☠️P.
I am with Nancy
Unconstitutional slop.
President’s concern for the American workers exercises an end on the Democratic Party attempt to fund failing governments at the expense of the unemployed
In view of statements regarding Trump's over reach of his authority, is it time for congress to remove Mr.Trump from office for abuse of power?
Ela está tão bonita neste vestido rosa, que darei um coração pela divulgação da notícia.
Looks like the President got them back to the table.
All ready a done deal...signed
Why are negotiations private if they are elected to serve for the people?
You would think MoscowMitch would have at least glanced at the bill the House passed back in May, and not waited until unemployment expired to start negotiations. But then Republicans really don't care about the working class.
Pelosi should be meeting with McConnell not Mnuchin. If the House and Senate can come to terms and get enough people on board they don't need to worry about a veto. But McConnell is still leading The Party of NO. HouseDemocrats SenateGOP
NEVER FORGET: 'The House passed a $3.4 trillion coronavirus support package in May that the Republican-led Senate ignored for weeks before putting forward a $1 trillion counteroffer.' The Republican bill didn't offer a lot of protections Nor aid for schools. + lower UIB
The Democratic Party does not help the American people. Do you think about destroying the American people?
Check it out... Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Something
They better since Trump's EO will damage SS, Medicare, Medicaid...a number of States don't have money to kick in more for unemployment so anything extra won't happen ...and people will still get evicted and foreclosed on.
WHAT A FUCKING GOOFY POST TO MAKE, REUTERS
Nancy blinked. Polling must have said not negotiating was a big loser for November.
lindaworkerbee That should already be happening. Today.
Trump’s sacrificing Social Security to try and get what he wants. Social Security is fragile now & can’t have funds taken from it now. Trump’s a boomer killer!
Open to it? My god you have no choice. Get to work. No job, no pay, no home. Just Do It.
Sure. They know they have messed up and their true colors are showing. Power is their only goal. SpeakerPelosi’s time is up.
America the wealthiest country in the World is now the biggest joke No guidance or leadership from our so called president A place where 163000 death 10's of American dying every hour and Trump’s reelection is more valuable than people’s lives.
Pelosi kicks ass as a floor tactician
Nah, Trump should just put his foot down and say 'take it or leave it'. Nobody who wasn't working prior to pandemic should be receiving money. There are jobs available, wear a mask get out there and get one.
Are they open to that? That's just super. The only way to do anything other than alter innocuous numbers on a spread sheet is an act of congress. If they don't get to work, we don't survive. That's how this works.
That’s a Lie
Sure ..people are already being evicted
They. All. Suck.
Can someone tell me what she has done since April?
SpeakerPelosi stevenmnuchin1 realDonaldTrump now that the President did something for the Americans, maybe they should just the stimulus checks out no later than Tuesday. I'm sure the President would sign it, others need food, rent and pay bills. 🤔
Can we all take a vow to ensure no-one is re-elected? How much longer can we let these flippant, out-of-touch and gluttonous politicians abhorrently represent us and our needs? Wtf are they negotiating for 3 weeks about regarding $600?!!!! burnitdown AmericaWakeUp
If trump wasnt lying about wanting negociations to restart, they could do it. the white house as noted would not move from 1 trillion after the dems came down. Meeting in the middle is the defnition of negociations. holding Americans hostage used to just be iran now its trump 2.
Is that the same as saying: 'Pelosi, Mnuchin close door to wider COVID-19 aid through 2020'. 😷
Too late SpeakerPelosi.
It would be difficult to be much worse of a person than Pelosi. But to give her credit, she keeps trying to exceed her previous lows.
If Democrats let Republicans spin this and pass their shitty stimulus package, then they’re far more pathetic than I ever thought they were. Jesus Christ!
This situation has been handled so poorly. No one signed up for this. The administration ought to be making everyone comfortable after what they did here. Payments of $10,000, not nickels & dimes would go a long way to diffusing the unrest and take the heat out of this mess...
A more narrow agreement will hurt all Americans
Instead of bringing solutions SpeakerPelosi is only barking at realDonaldTrump ideas, meanwhile many Americans are dying of corona.
People are gonna be pissed if they don’t get their second stimulus after they agreed on that
Why does 'narrower' mean?
why play and play , then Approved , Manipulators want Sp500 , dow jones in max monday
They've been outsmarted by the Donald.
I can't stand this woman.
