– Nancy Pelosi says President Trump’s suggestion that Congress pass a $1,200 stimulus check is an attempt to rebound from “a terrible mistake.” The House speaker says she has asked Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to look into a $25 billion aid package for airlines that Democrats tried to advance last week, ABC News reports. “It is really important for us to come to this agreement,” she says. “All he has ever wanted in the negotiation is to send out a check with his name printed on it.” Pelosi says Trump’s tweets were an effort to rebound from “a terrible mistake,” but she brushed aside questions about doing a slimmed-down aid package, still favoring a comprehensive version. “All he has ever wanted in the negotiation is to send out a check with his name printed on it,” she says. White House officials, meanwhile, downplayed the possibility of more coronavirus relief, Reuters reports. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters that “the stimulus negotiations are off,” echoing Trump’s announcement on Tuesday, and said in an interview on Fox News the administration backed a more piecemeal approach to help some sectors of the economy. But in a separate interview with CNBC, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that approach would likely not work. “Right now in terms of the probability curve, this would probably be low low-probability stuff.”
