The Trump administration is still pushing for direct stimulus payments to Americans, weeks after talks between congressional Democrats and Republicans stalled, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows says.

“I even think that we can come up with an agreement on stimulus checks to Americans and enhanced unemployment,” Meadows told reporters on Aug. 22, suggesting that Democrats are the ones that need to act first. “Those issues are not as divisive as we might think.”
