“Crisis negotiations between the White House and top Democrats teetered on the brink of collapse on Friday, as both sides said they remained deeply divided on an economic recovery package and President Trump’s advisers said they would recommend that he bypass Congress and act on his own to provide relief,” the New York Times reports.
“It was not clear what power Mr. Trump might have to move unilaterally to extend jobless aid or otherwise redirect federal relief money as he sees fit, since Congress controls spending.”
Trump, on Twitter, accused Democrats of trying to extract “Bailout Money for poorly run Democrat cities and states” as part of the talks.
