The Trump administration has pressed for enactment of a $1 trillion stimulus package, possibly to include $1,000 direct payments to individual Americans, to blunt the economic pain from a coronavirus outbreak that has killed over 100 people in the country, Reuters reported.
"High earners might not qualify for payments, which could be sent within the next two weeks," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
Meanwhile, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said his chamber would this week pass a multibillion-dollar emergency spending bill cleared by the House of Representatives on Saturday, despite concerns from some Republicans.
