WASHINGTON, D.C. (KRON) - President Trump is calling on the U.S. Congress to amend the COVID-19 relief bill.
In a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday, Trump said he wants to increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 per person.
"I'm asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple," President Trump said. "I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package, and maybe that administration will be me and we will get it done."
