President Donald Trump’s chief negotiator and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are set to speak about a new COVID-19 relief package on Tuesday.

“I will be speaking to the Speaker this afternoon,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the negotiator, told reporters as he arrived on Capitol Hill for a Senate Banking Committee hearing. “We’re going to talk about where we are on the appropriations issue and keeping the government running. That is the first priority and I’m sure we'll also be mentioning COVID issues.”
