The US Senate agreed on a $10 billion deal for another round of emergency Covid-19 funding.
‘This $10 billion COVID package will give the federal government – and our citizens – the tools we need to continue our economic recovery, keep schools open and keep American families safe,’ Schumer said in a statement.
‘This obviously does not meet all of those dire needs in this country,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said during a briefing Monday. He also said that he was ‘disappointed’ that Republicans could not agree to the $5 billion in global health funding. ‘The rest of the world is racing to buy up the supply of these treatments and these therapeutics, and if the US falls behind because of a lack of funding, vulnerable Americans, and our whole country, will pay the price.’
