increase font size Trump calls on Congress to approve $2,000 stimulus checks, hints he might not sign relief bill If the president refuses to sign the bill, the government will shut down on Dec. 29 and the $900 billion in emergency economic aid will be frozen. By Rachel Siegel, Josh Dawsey, Mike DeBonisThe Washington Post Share WASHINGTON President Trump on Tuesday night asked Congress to amend the nearly $900 billion stimulus and spending bill passed by the Senate just one day before, describing the legislation as “a disgrace” and suggesting he would not immediately sign off on aid for millions of Americans. In a video posted to Twitter, Trump called on Congress to increase the “ridiculously low” $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 and outlined a list of provisions in the final legislation that he described as “wasteful spending and much more.” He did not mention that the $600 stimulus check idea came from his treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin.
