Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin
President Donald Trump hinted Monday that there might be another stimulus check for American taxpayers suffering from the economic crisis amid ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
During an interview with Scripps, Trump was asked whether he plans to approve another stimulus check to Americans. “Yeah we are,” he said. “We are.”

“We will be doing another stimulus package,” he said. “It’ll be very good, it’ll be very generous.”
