House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says Democrats and the Trump administration are coming closer to a COVID-19 stimulus deal, although negotiators haven’t come to an agreement on issues such as state and local funding and businesses’ liability protections.

Republicans in the Senate are in favor of the liability protections, while Democrats have sought billions of dollars in funding for states and cities. Republicans in the Senate have balked at a multi-trillion-dollar package.
