White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said Friday that formal talks on the next COVID-19 stimulus package, dubbed “phase four,” have been put on hold.

“We’re kind of paused as far as formal negotiations go,” Kudlow told reporters, adding that the talks would not resume until late May or early June.
