President Donald Trump on Wednesday has thrown doubt over the $900 bilion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress by refusing to sign the bill. He is asking Congress to amend the bill to increase the $600 stimulus to individuals to $2,000, according to CNN.
Congress this week passed the $2.3 trillion spending package that funds the government through the end of the fiscal year and includes $900 billion in a COVID-19 relief bill.
The bill ends eight months of partisan stalemate for a fifth and final stimulus package that President Trump is expected to sign. Providers get $3 billion, which is far less than the $175 billion included in other provider relief packages earlier this year.
