In a series of tweets, Mr Trump accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of"not negotiating in good faith" and said he had asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to instead direct all his focus before the election on confirming his Supreme Court nominee -"I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," the president...
However, hours later, Mr Trump appeared to contradict his earlier messages and called on Congress to send him a"Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks " - a reference to a pre-election batch of direct payments to most Americans that had been a central piece of the talks between Ms Pelosi and the Trump administration.He also called on Congress to immediately approve $25bn for airlines and $135bn for the Paycheck Protection Programme to help small businesses.
