The $ 900 billion crisis support package was voted through by an unusually unanimous congress on Monday, even though Democrats were forced to make a series of concessions, including lower subsidy levels.
Republicans, on the other hand, have called the support package a "triumph," the New York Times writes.
Trump does not want to approve
The support package includes a number of measures, including money to the states for the distribution of corona vaccines, loans to small and large companies and support money for aviation, writes the New York Times.
The fact that outgoing President Donald Trump did not want to approve the support package also means that next year's state budget has not been approved.
The crisis package that Trump has so far nobbed includes a direct payment of 600 dollars, approximately 5,500 Swedish kronor, to Americans with an income below a certain level, writes CNN.
The outgoing president seems to think that sum is too low.
Want to triple the payout
On Friday, he tweeted "why do politicians not want to give them $ 2,000 instead of $ 600?", But without explaining how he will act further on the issue.
The Democrats' proposal for direct payments was $ 1,200, but was voted down by Donald Trump's own party, which thought $ 600 was a better level.
Nancy Pelosi, Democrat and Speaker of the House of Representatives, has announced that she wants to increase the amount to $ 2,000 to get Trump to sign the support package, writes CNBC.
She will hold a vote in the House of Representatives on the issue on Monday.
14 million lose compensation
Without Trump's signature, 14 million unemployed Americans could lose their unemployment benefits, according to the Department of Labor.
As of Tuesday next week, the country also risks a partial shutdown of the state apparatus because the new budget has not been approved.
