White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Wednesday warned there likely won’t be a COVID-19 relief package deal if the parties involved don’t come to an agreement on Friday.
“I think at this point we’re either going to get serious about negotiating and get an agreement in principle or I’ve become extremely doubtful that we’ll be able to make a deal if it goes well beyond Friday,” Meadows told reporters following another meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
