President Donald Trump suggested that stimulus checks and direct payments in the next pandemic relief bill could be greater than $1,200.

“It may go higher than that, actually,” Trump told ABC affiliate station KMID in Texas. “I'd like to see it be very high because I love the people,” he said. “I want the people to get it.”
