佩洛西：民主党和白宫正在达成一项刺激经济的协议

南希·佩洛西说，在她星期二下午与史蒂芬·姆努钦通话之前，民主党和白宫就冠状病毒刺激计划有望达成协议。双方已在Covid-19测试上找到了共同点，但在州和地方政府的救济和企业责任保护方面仍存在分歧。

她补充说，在整个谈判过程中，双方在州政府和地方政府的援助以及对企业的责任保护，这两个最大的问题上仍存在分歧。因为在Covid-19疫情爆发期间，许多州和市政府的成本飙升，收入下降，所以其中最大的症结在于是否向各州和市政府提供更多的援助。民主党最近推动了超过4000亿美元的援助。尽管美国总统特朗普反对所谓的民主党执政州的“救助”，白宫还是提供了2500亿美元。

但是两党一致认为，有必要为失业的美国人恢复发放失业救济金，并向陷入困境的小企业提供第二笔贷款，并拨款帮助学校安全重开校门。

Nancy Pelosi says Democrats and the White House have moved closer to a coronavirus stimulus agreement ahead of her Tuesday afternoon call with Steven Mnuchin. The sides have come closer to finding common ground on Covid-19 testing, but remain divided on state and local government relief and liability protections for businesses.

She added that the sides still have not bridged a gulf over two of their biggest differences throughout the talks: state and local government aid and liability protections for businesses.But Democrats and Republicans have not found common ground on how much federal money to put into the enhanced unemployment insurance, among a range of other disputes.The biggest sticking point has come over whether to send more aid to states and municipalities, many of which have seen costs soar and revenues drop during the Covid-19 outbreak. Democrats most recently pushed for more than $400 billion in aid. The White House offered $250 billion despite President Donald Trump’s opposition to what he called a “bailout” of Democratic-run states.

The parties have agreed on the need to reinstate a supplemental unemployment benefit for jobless Americans, send another round of direct payments, offer a second loan to struggling small businesses and allocate money to help schools reopen their doors safely.  source
