- Trump administration pushes to approve $ 1,200 stimulus check
- Lawmakers would have to come back from recess early if they hope to reach a deal soon
- “Let’s go ahead and get a stimulus check for Americans,” said Trump’s chief of staff.
Trump administration again pressures Democratic lawmakers to pass a second stimulus check for $ 1,200.
Negotiations in the Senate have stalled in what appears to be a debate in which neither Democrats nor Republicans are willing to give in.
Although both sides promote the approval of the second check of economic stimulus, do not coincide in the amounts or to whom it would be directed.
That is why after three weeks of discussions, the legislators took a recess, which will last until September, without having been able to reach an agreement.
Now, the White House asks them to return to continue discussing the issue.
This was stated by Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, in a interview on CNN.
“Let’s go ahead and get a stimulus check for Americans,” he said, referring to the payment of $ 1,200 for adults and $ 500 per child they promote.
“Let’s make sure small businesses are protected with an Extended Program and put the postal funds there. We will approve it tomorrow. The president will sign it, ”Meadows added.

Trump administration pushes to approve $ 1,200 stimulus check
As the Trump Administration pushes for work on the probation of a second stimulus check for $ 1,200, Democrats push for Trump to allow funding for the United States Postal Service. This, anticipating that there may be inconveniences when the votes are processed in this way.
“If my Democratic friends are all upset about this, go back to Washington, DC,” Meadows said, urging them to return to their posts early.
This Sunday, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, summoned her peers to return.
Although this time his objective was not to talk about the check for Americans, but to vote on a bill in relation to the Postal Service.
While both the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service wait for the moment in which it corresponds to execute the instruction and are prepared to do it quickly thanks to the experience acquired with the sending of the funds approved in the Cares Act.
