The outgoing US President Donald Trump is still trying to make a name for himself, but last night he refused to sign a rescue package due to the coronavirus epidemic, which MPs finally agreed on this week.
This is an economic measure in response to the $ 900 billion crisis caused by the epidemic. Both the US House of Representatives and the Senate agreed on the action this week after months of struggle.
It was expected that the president would sign the bill last night, but now he demands that changes be made to it and that the number that should go to the public be higher . He also criticizes various sections of the bill that he says are not related to the epidemic in any way.
In a speech last night, Trump said the rescue package was a disgrace and that he was full of rage.
“This is called the Covid rescue package, but it has almost nothing to do with Covid,” Trump said.

“Lots of money” abroad, lobbyists and special interests
The package includes a $ 600 one-time payment to most Americans, but Trump wants to increase that payment to $ 2,000 and ensure that it is then $ 4,000 for couples.
“This bill provides for $ 85.5 million in aid to Cambodia, $ 134 million to Burma, $ 1.3 billion to Egypt and the Egyptian military, which will go and buy almost exclusively Russian military equipment, $ 25 million in democracy and, “Equality projects in Pakistan and a total of $ 505 million to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama,” Trump said.
He said Congress had found “a lot of money for foreigners, lobbyists and special interests while spending as little money as possible on Americans who need the money.” It was not their fault but China’s. ”
Trump said he would ask Congress to change the bill and “throw out bribes and other unnecessary things.”
“Otherwise, the next government will have to come up with a Covid bailout package,” Trump said.
Earlier a detailed investigative report “Vaccine Leak “ was published by The Eastern Herald. The Vaccine Leak exposed the Pharma Mafia and their profit from different COVID-19 vaccines. Many politicians may also be involved in this conspiracy.
