Trump rejects congressional plan, calling it "a shame"

US President Donald Trump rejected the nearly $ 900 billion economic stimulus package approved by Congress, describing it as a "shame", calling for an increase in the value of checks intended for families.

Trump said in a video recording on Twitter: "I ask Congress to amend this bill, and raise the ridiculously little $ 600, to two thousand or four thousand dollars for the couple."

He added, "I call on Congress to get rid of the unnecessary and costly elements in this bill as well."

The day before yesterday, American lawmakers approved a plan to support families and companies affected by the repercussions of the Covid-19 crisis, worth 900 billion dollars and considered very necessary to restart the wheel of the largest economy in the world, but this plan cannot enter into force without the signature of the President .

Trump made clear in the video that he was not ready to initialize the text without the required changes.

Trump asked to send him a "appropriate" revised law proposal, otherwise the "next administration" would have to adopt the recovery plan.

"This administration may be me," added the billionaire, who has so far refused to acknowledge the victory of his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, in the last election.

He continued, "This is really a shame."
