WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump this morning appeared to backtrack on his decision to halt talks on another rescue effort for the economy.
Trump sent a series of tweets late Tuesday night saying he’s now open to sending out $1,200 payments to Americans, as well as limited programs to prop up the airline industry and small businesses.
It’s a reversal from just hours earlier, when he called an abrupt end to negotiations with Democrats over additional COVID-19 relief, delaying action until after the election despite ominous warnings from his own Federal Reserve chairman about the deteriorating conditions in the economy.
