트럼프, "코로나발 경제위기 해소 위한 정부 지원안 의회서 타결 근접"
The U.S. is closing in on another stimulus package deal to revive its ailing economy while also delaying the due date for tariffs owed by American businesses.
In the meantime, some Americans are losing patience with the economic shutdown.
They're taking to the streets to demand that they be allowed to work again.
Our Kim Do-yeon reports. U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that another stimulus package could be agreed on by Congress as soon as Monday.
"Some very good negotiations. Just got off the phone with the Secretary of the Treasury, and we have some very good negotiations going on right now. And I think you can have a nice answer tomorrow. But we'll see."
Reports say the additional aid will top up a small business loan program, which has already run out of money.
In addition, the deal would also support medical centers and testing capacity.
While the negotiations go on, the government is already giving businesses temporary relief from tariff duties.
On Sunday, The Treasury Department announced,... after consultation with the customs authorities,... that approved businesses will have an extra 90 days to pay the tariffs due on certain imports that arrived in March and April.
But while more relief could be on the way, more than 22 million people have already applied for unemployment benefits.
Some of them are venting their frustration, taking to the streets in state capitals to demand they be allowed back to work.
"There's no reason to shut the whole state down, 99% of the people, for the less than 1% of people that are vulnerable to the virus, and the facts speak for themselves it's true."
While the frustration is heard, state governors are reluctant to reopen because they see that during the shutdown the number of new cases has fallen.
As of Sunday, the country had reported more than 750-thousand infections... and more than 40-thousand deaths.
