President Donald Trump again called for Congress to pass a spending bill that provides aid for airlines in the midst of layoffs, coming hours after he stopped talks with Democrats over a broader stimulus bill following a several-month-long stalemate.

“The House & Senate should IMMEDIATELY Approve 25 Billion Dollars for Airline Payroll Support,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. At around the same time, he also called on Congress to pass a bill that authorizes $1,200 direct payments to individuals.
