President Donald Trump declared Friday he’s in no hurry for Congress to pass more stimulus measures to help the economy, hours after the Labor Department announced an unprecedented 20 million jobs were lost in April.
“We’re in no rush,” Trump said while meeting with about two dozen House Republicans, who spent an hour taking turns complimenting and congratulating the president for his response to the coronavirus outbreak that’s cratered the economy.
Congressional Democrats, Trump said, “want things, and we’re happy with what’s gone on – we got what we needed. But at the same time, we want to do what’s right for the country.”
Trump signed a $2.2 trillion stimulus into law in late March that’s provided payroll support to small businesses, $1,200 direct payments to families and boosted unemployment checks for millions of people out of work.
