WASHINGTON, Nov.14 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday called for Congress to pass a « big and focused » COVID-19 relief bill as confirmed cases are surging across the country. « Congress must now do a Covid Relief Bill. Needs Democrats support. Make it big and focused. Get it done! » Trump said on Twitter.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday also called the surging COVID-19 cases a « red alert » that requires « all hands on deck » in Congress.
