Trump threatens to not sign COVID-19 bill, want bigger stimulus checks
TT Trump nói chưa muốn ký Dự Luật 892 tỷ đô la vào hôm nay.
Ông Trump muốn trợ cấp nhiều hơn cho người Mỹ, có thể $2000.00 cho mỗi người và $4000.00 cho một cặp vợ chồng.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday not to sign a $892-billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.
The outgoing Republican president's threat, with less than a month left in office, throws into turmoil a bipartisan effort in Congress to provide help for people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.
"The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated," Trump said in a video posted on Twitter. "It really is a disgrace."
Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation on Monday night.
Trump said he wants Congress to increase the amount in the stimulus checks to $2,000 for individuals or $4,000 for couples, instead of the "ridiculously low" $600 for individuals currently in the bill.
Trump also complained about money in the legislation for foreign countries, the Smithsonian Institution and fish breeding, among other spending.
"I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation, and to send me a suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me," he said.
Tổng thống Mỹ cho hay, thêm rằng ông đang yêu cầu các nghị sĩ "loại bỏ những khoản chi lãng phí, không cần thiết" và "chỉ gửi cho tôi dự luật phù hợp". "Nếu không, chính quyền tiếp theo sẽ phải đưa ra một gói cứu trợ Covid. Có thể chính quyền đó sẽ là tôi. Và chúng tôi sẽ hoàn tất việc này".
