Trump pushes $2 trillion infrastructure package in next coronavirus bill
31 Mar 2020
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a $2 trillion infrastructure package should be part of Congress’ next response to the coronavirus pandemic, reviving a 2016 campaign pledge to ramp up construction projects despite public health guidance that Americans should stay home and isolated to the greatest extent possible.
Citing extraordinarily low interest rates that have reduced the cost of federal borrowing, Trump said on Twitter that now “is the time” to push forward with an infrastructure package in response to the severe economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. Numerous House Democrats have also discussed in recent weeks advancing infrastructure legislation as part of their response to the coronavirus.
