President Donald Trump is seeking immediate action on higher unemployment benefits and a moratorium on evictions while Congress members debate on a larger COVID-19 relief bill, said White House adviser Peter Navarro in a Monday interview.
Navarro told CNN that policymakers should pass a more limited package over the coming days to buy more time. Republicans and Democrats are currently at an impasse over several measures, namely unemployment insurance, as most Democrats support extending the $600-per-week program that expired last week, and many Republicans do not.
