WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said the Trump administration was reviewing the latest proposal for further COVID-19 relief over the weekend and that she expected a response on Monday, adding that she was still optimistic a deal could be reached.
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, Pelosi said she would still pursue an agreement after the Nov. 3 election regardless of its outcome. But, she added, she wanted to see a deal for another round of federal financial aid amid the novel coronavirus pandemic as soon as possible.
