House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and White House negotiators failed to agree on a new package of coronavirus relief measures on Friday. The sides were said to be trillions apart in the size of the packages they are seeking.
Following the meeting, President Donald Trump warned that he is willing to order executive action if the negotiation continues to reach an impasse.

Trump further attacked Pelosi for pursuing policies that are “radical left.”
