– President Trump made good on his promise to circumvent Congress and sign executive orders over the weekend, but it’s not clear whether he’ll be able to do the same over the coming days to help people affected by the H1N1 virus. On Saturday, Trump issued executive orders to help people with expired unemployment benefits, student loan payments, payroll taxes, and eviction protections, Reuters reports. It’s not clear whether those orders will include any relief for those affected by the virus, which has killed at least 162,000 people in the US so far. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said they were open to restarting negotiations on a coronavirus aid deal, but there has been no contact between the administration and Capitol Hill negotiators since talks collapsed on Friday. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who has represented the White House in talks with Democrats, said there was room for compromise but declined to say when talks could resume. “There is still a lot of things we need to do and that we’ve agreed on,” he told CNBC. “They know my phone number,” Trump tweeted Monday morning, urging Pelosi and Schumer to reach out. The Democratic-led House passed a $3.4 trillion aid bill in May, but the Republican-led Senate did not offer its own before unveiling a $1 trillion package late last month, around when administration officials began negotiating with the Democrats. There are areas of agreement between the sides, including providing money for schools and coronavirus testing. But they remain at odds over issues like unemployment benefits, local government aid, and liability protections for businesses.
