President Donald Trump late Friday signaled his support for an emergency coronavirus stimulus package to help those financially impacted by the coronavirus outbreak, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that the House reached a deal over the bill.

“I fully support H.R. 6201: Families First CoronaVirus Response Act, which will be voted on in the House this evening. This Bill will follow my direction for free CoronaVirus tests, and paid sick leave for our impacted American workers,” Trump wrote in a statement on Twitter.
