$ 916 billion new stimulus package for the US economy

The outgoing President Trump's administration has proposed a new aid plan to revive the US economy.

According to Arabiyanet, Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin said in a statement on Twitter: I have submitted a proposal from President Trump worth $ 916 billion.

Mnuchin made the proposal to Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, during a meeting with her Tuesday evening.

This new proposal is worth slightly more than a $ 908 billion aid plan that was recently proposed by a group of Democrats and Republicans and formed a basis for negotiations between the two sides.

These discussions have stopped for months and have recently resumed. President-elect Joe Biden had stressed the need to help the most vulnerable families and businesses out of this situation.

and the discussions held by members of Congress face two main points of contention: protecting companies from some lawsuits, especially in cases of contracting employees with the Corona virus, a point that Republicans defend And provide assistance to states and local communities, which Democrats are calling for.

The proposal submitted by the White House includes both issues, which could allow the two parties to finally reach an agreement.

The proposal by Mnuchin represents the latest effort to reach an agreement before President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.
