Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday called on Congress to resume negotiations on COVID-19 relief talks after they stalled last month.

“While we continue to see signs of a strong economic recovery, we are sensitive to the fact that there is more work to be done, and certain areas of the economy require additional relief,” Mnuchin said while testifying in front of a House panel that is investigating the White House’s response to the CCP virus pandemic.
