U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to extend the unemployment bonus, which would drop from US$600 to US$400 a week.
He said the money would roll out to Americans “rapidly” but would not give a specific date despite the previous stimulus bonus expiring recently.
Asked about the decision to lower the bonus, Trump denied it would be a “hardship” for families, saying this is the money Americans wanted, which Democrats “obstructed.”.
