After delaying for nearly a week and under pressure from all sides, United States President Donald Trump finally signed a massive US$900 billion stimulus bill on Sunday, in a long-sought boost for millions of Americans and businesses battered by the coronavirus pandemic.
The package “providing coronavirus emergency response and relief” is part of a larger spending bill that, with Trump’s signature, will avoid a government shutdown today.
“I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for Paycheck Protection Programs, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution, and much more,” the president said in a statement from his Christmas vacation at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
