President Donald Trump could take executive action on virus relief amid little progress on negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, administration officials said.

Before meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters that Trump may take action if negotiations don’t come to fruition soon. Trump said in a separate interview that he’s prepared to provide another round of stimulus payments through executive action.
