WASHINGTON.-(VOA)President Donald Trump signed several executive aid warrants for the coronavirus, including a federal unemployment benefit of $400 a week for Americans.
The move, signed and announced by the representative on Saturday, August 8, followed the failure of talks between the White House and Republicans and Congressional Democrats for a new aid package for individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic.
Trump also announced a tax cut on his wages to people earning less than $100,000 a year.
«This is the money they need, the money they want, and it’s an incentive to get back to their jobs,» the president said.
