Unemployment Benefits Expire For Millions As Trump Refuses To Sign Stimulus & Government Funding Bills

As President Donald Trump continues to threaten to veto the $900 billion appropriations and coronavirus relief bills that the U.S. Congress passed on Wednesday night, millions of Americans have now lost unemployment insurance after the holiday break.

Trump has called on representatives and senators to amend provisions within the bill before signing it into law.

“The vast bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace,” Trump said in a video statement. “I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000…immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items…or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package, and maybe that administration will be me.”
