Trump has said he would authorize a second round of $1,200 checks to U.S citizens provided the Congress approves it.House Democrats were ready for a $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill, while the White House had prepared to spend $1.6 trillion. After intense parley by both sides, the negotiations for the 2nd stimulus package were called off by Trump until after the elections. He reversed his stand the very next day by calling for Congress to approve $1,200 stimulus checks to millions of Americans. Trump tweeted that he supports slimmed-down stand-alone legislation to authorize those payments and ready to sign the check of $1,200 immediately so that it reaches every American at the earliest. He has also called for other stand-alone legislation to provide relief for the ailing airline industry and small businesses.
