President Donald Trump says hes in no rush to negotiate another financial rescue bill, even as the government reported that more than 20 million Americans lost their jobs last month due to economic upheaval caused by the coronavirus.
The presidents low-key approach came Friday as the Labor Department reported the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. Weve kind of paused as far as formal negotiations go, Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council told reporters Friday. Kudlow added that talks were in a lull and that administration officials and legislators would regroup in the next several weeks.
No one could look at todays jobs report, the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, and say we should hit the pause button on further government action, Schumer said in a statement. He compared Trump and his GOP allies in Congress to former President Herbert Hoover, who is often seen as failing to respond adequately to that crisis.
Were in no rush, were in no rush, Trump told reporters Friday during an event with House Republicans.
