White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Friday that President Donald Trump approved a new pandemic relief package, coming days after he called off negotiations on another round of aid to workers and businesses.

“The president has approved a revised package. He would like to do a deal,” Larry Kudlow said Friday on Fox Business, adding that the White House offered a $1.8 trillion deal to counter Democrats’ $2.2 trillion HEROES Act. “It will be relatively broad-based but I can’t go through details.”
