US president to address media as House Speaker Pelosi and the Trump administration labour to finish a coronavirus aid package
Passengers walk through Terminal 1, after further cases of coronavirus were confirmed in New York, at JFK International Airport in New York, US, March 13, 2020.
GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of California, the House minority leader, was huddled with Mnuchin and Trump at the White House. And a personal health scare intensified as White House officials worked to determine the level of exposure by the president and senior aides to several foreign officials who have since tested positive for the virus.
Earlier Friday, Mnuchin sounded an optimistic note. “I think we're very close to getting this done,” he said in an appearance on CNBC. The ability to ensure pay checks will keep flowing – for people who stay home as a preventative measure or because they're feeling ill or caring for others — can help assure Americans they will not fall into financial hardship.
But there's little appetite within either party for Trump's proposal to suspend collection of the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax. States are already clamouring for fiscal relief from Washington as the virus threatens their budgets.The president, his daughter Ivanka, Attorney General WIlliam Barr and lawmakers are among those who have been in contact with others who have now tested positive for the coronavirus.
